Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This proposal would result in the loss of administrative grants for the employment security program within the Department of Labor due to State law being out of conformity with Federal law.  The Social Security Act §303(f) requires the State to provide wage information including social security numbers for income and eligibility verification associated with unemployment compensation.   The Bureau of Unemployment Compensation received $15,200,000 in administrative grants in FFY 2001-2002.  Other employment security programs in the Department of Labor including the Bureau of Employment Services and the Division of Labor Market Information Services could also lose administrative funding.  The total amount of federal funds which could be lost can not be determined at this time.
