                           TITLE 45--RAILROADS
 
               CHAPTER 11--RAILROAD UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
 
Sec. 363a. Refunds of State unemployment contributions by 
        employees; amount; application period; definitions
        
    (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any case where an 
employee amount (as hereinafter defined) was paid from a State 
unemployment fund to the Unemployment Trust Fund, an aggregate amount 
equal thereto shall be paid from the Unemployment Trust Fund, as 
refunds, to employees who paid into the State fund the contributions 
upon which such payment into the Unemployment Trust Fund was based, 
except that in case any such employee is deceased, payment shall be made 
to his estate; and the payment so made in the case of any employee shall 
be in proportion to the contributions paid by such employee into the 
State fund: Provided, That payment in any such case shall be made only 
if application therefor is made to the Railroad Retirement Board within 
two years after August 2, 1946.
    (b) As used in this section--
        (1) The term ``employee amount'' means any amount paid from a 
    State unemployment fund to the Unemployment Trust Fund which would 
    not have been required to be paid, under the provisions of section 
    363(c) of this title, if said section had not required payment of 
    amounts based on contributions collected from employees.
        (2) The term ``Unemployment Trust Fund'' means the fund 
    established by section 1104 of title 42.
        (3) The term ``employees'' has the same meaning as in the 
    Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act [45 U.S.C. 351 et seq.].

(Aug. 2, 1946, ch. 743, 60 Stat. 806; Aug. 6, 1947, ch. 509, 61 Stat.
