Summary

Federal Supplemental Unemployment Compensation Act of 1980 - Authorizes any State to enter into an agreement with the Secretary of Labor to pay Federal supplemental compensation to an individual who meets specified requirements for any week of unemployment which begins in an extended benefit period for such individual. Directs that no payment shall be made to an individual for any week of unemployment which begins more than two years after the end of the benefit year for which such individual has exhausted rights to regular compensation. Provides that the amount of Federal supplemental compensation payable to an individual for any week of unemployment shall equal the amount of regular compensation, including dependents' allowances, payable during the benefit year under State law. Makes State law applicable to any claims for Federal supplemental compensation. Requires that, under any agreement under this Act, a State establish a Federal supplemental compensation account for each eligible individual who applies for such compensation. Specifies the amount to be placed in such account. Sets forth the time during which such compensation is payable. Terminates such compensation after March 31, 1981. Requires payment of 100 percent of the amount which a State under this Act pays in Federal supplemental compensation. Directs that no such payment shall be made to a State for any amount for which the State is entitled to reimbursement under any Federal law other than this Act. Directs the Secretary to estimate the amounts to which a State is entitled each calendar month under this Act, and to certify to the Secretary of the Treasury the sums for payment under this Act. Disallows further Federal supplemental compensation to and imposes criminal sanctions on an individual who receives undue compensation as a result of fraud. Authorizes a State to require such individual to repay such undue compensation unless a State agency waives such repayment. Authorizes a State agency to recover fraudulently claimed Federal supplemental compensation by: (1) deductions from Federal supplemental compensation payable to such individual under this Act; or (2) deductions from any unemployment compensation payable to such individual under any other Federal law.
