Missouri Revised Statutes Title XVIII. Labor and Industrial Relations § 288.132. Unemployment automation fund created, use of moneys

1. There is hereby created in the state treasury the “Unemployment Automation Fund”, which  1 shall consist of money collected pursuant to section 288.133, and such other state funds appropriated by the general assembly. The state treasurer shall be custodian of the fund and may approve disbursements from the fund in accordance with sections 30.170 and 30.180. Upon appropriation, money in the fund shall be used solely for the purpose of providing automated systems, and the payment of associated costs, to improve the administration of the state's unemployment insurance program. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 33.080 to the contrary, all moneys remaining in the fund at the end of the biennium shall not revert to the credit of the general revenue fund. The state treasurer shall invest moneys in the fund in the same manner as other funds are invested. Any interest and money earned on such investments shall be credited to the fund.

2. The unemployment automation fund shall not be used in whole or in part for any purpose or in any manner that would permit its substitution for, or a corresponding reduction in, federal funds that would be available in its absence to finance expenditures for the administration of this chapter, or cause the appropriate agency of the United States government to withhold any part of an administrative grant which would otherwise be made.
