52-02-15. Reciprocal arrangements with other states and federal government
The bureau shall enter into reciprocal arrangements with appropriate and duly authorized
agencies of other states or of the federal government or both, by which:
1. Services performed by an individual for a single employing unit, which services
customarily are performed in more than one state, must be deemed to be services
performed entirely within any one of the states:
a. In which any part of such individual's services is performed;
b. In which such individual has such individual's residence; or
c. In which the employing unit maintains a place of business if there is in effect as to
such services, an election, approved by the agency charged with the
administration of such state's unemployment compensation law, pursuant to
which all the services performed by such individual for such employing unit, are
deemed to be entirely within such state;
2. Potential rights to benefits accumulated under the unemployment compensation laws
of one or more states or under one or more such laws of the federal government, or
both, may constitute the basis for the payment of benefits through a single appropriate
agency under terms which the bureau finds will be fair and reasonable as to all
affected interests and will not result in any substantial loss to the fund;
3. Wages or services, upon the basis of which an individual may become entitled to
benefits under an unemployment compensation law of another state or of the federal
government, must be deemed to be wages for insured work for the purpose of
determining the individual's rights to benefits under the North Dakota unemployment
compensation law, and wages for insured work, on the basis of which an individual
may become entitled to benefits under the North Dakota unemployment compensation
law, must be deemed to be wages or services on the basis of which unemployment
compensation under such law of another state or of the federal government is payable.
No such arrangement may be entered into unless it contains provisions for
reimbursements to the fund for such of the benefits paid under the North Dakota
unemployment compensation law upon the basis of such wages or services, and
provisions for reimbursements from the fund for such of the compensation paid under
such other law upon the basis of wages for insured work, as the bureau finds will be
fair and reasonable as to all affected interests; and
4. Contributions due under the North Dakota unemployment compensation law with
respect to wages for insured work, for the purposes of sections 52-04-11 through
52-04-14, must be deemed to have been paid to the fund as of the date payment was
made as contributions therefor under another state or federal unemployment
compensation law, but no such arrangement may be entered into unless it contains
provisions for such reimbursements to the fund of such contributions and the actual
earnings thereon as the bureau finds will be fair and reasonable as to all affected
interests.
