       SUBCHAPTER IX--EMPLOYMENT SECURITY ADMINISTRATIVE FINANCING
 
Sec. 1107. Personnel training


(a) Creation of program

    In order to assist in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of 
administration of the unemployment compensation program by increasing 
the number of adequately trained personnel, the Secretary of Labor 
shall--
        (1) provide directly, through State agencies, or through 
    contracts with institutions of higher education or other qualified 
    agencies, organizations, or institutions, programs and courses 
    designed to train individuals to prepare them, or improve their 
    qualifications, for service in the administration of the 
    unemployment compensation program, including claims determinations 
    and adjudication, with such stipends and allowances as may be 
    permitted under regulations of the Secretary;
        (2) develop training materials for and provide technical 
    assistance to the State agencies in the operation of their training 
    programs;
        (3) under such regulations as he may prescribe, award 
    fellowships and traineeships to persons in the Federal-State 
    employment security agencies, in order to prepare them or improve 
    their qualifications for service in the administration of the 
    unemployment compensation program.

(b) Repayment of costs

    The Secretary may, to the extent that he finds such action to be 
necessary, prescribe requirements to assure that any person receiving a 
fellowship, traineeship, stipend or allowance shall repay the costs 
thereof to the extent that such person fails to serve in the Federal-
State employment security program for the period prescribed by the 
Secretary. The Secretary may relieve any individual of his obligation to 
so repay, in whole or in part, whenever and to the extent that such 
repayment would, in his judgment, be inequitable or would be contrary to 
the purposes of any of the programs established by this section.

(c) Detail of Federal and State employees

    The Secretary, with the concurrence of the State, may detail Federal 
employees to State unemployment compensation administration and the 
Secretary may concur in the detailing of State employees to the United 
States Department of Labor for temporary periods for training or for 
purposes of unemployment compensation administration, and the provisions 
of section 869b \1\ of title 20 or any more general program of 
interchange enacted by a law amending, supplementing, or replacing 
section 869b \1\ of title 20 shall apply to any such assignment.
