§1666. Cooperation with State and Federal agencies; Wage Combining

(1) The administration of this Chapter and of other State and Federal unemployment compensation and public employment service laws will be promoted by cooperation between this state and such other states and the appropriate Federal Agencies in exchanging services, and making available facilities and information. The Administrator is therefore authorized to make investigations, secure and transmit information, make available services and facilities and exercise such of the other powers provided herein with respect to the administration of this Chapter as he deems necessary or appropriate to facilitate the administration of any such unemployment compensation or public employment service law, and in like manner, to accept and utilize information, services and facilities made available to this state by the agency charged with the administration of any such other unemployment compensation or public employment service law.

(2) Combining wage credits--The Administrator shall participate in any arrangements for the payment of compensation on the basis of combining an individual's wages and employment covered under this Chapter with his wages and employment covered under the unemployment compensation laws of other States which are approved by the United States Secretary of Labor in consultation with the State unemployment compensation agencies as reasonably calculated to assure the prompt and full payment of compensation in such situations and which include provisions for

(A) applying the base period of a single State law to a claim involving the combining of an individual's wages and employment covered under two or more State unemployment compensation laws, and

(B) avoiding the duplicate use of wages and employment by reason of such combining.
