Rep. Rivers’ Bill Would
Postpone Alaska’s
Repayment of ESC Money
WASHINGTON (e—The House
Ways and Means Committee Fri
day approved an amended version
of a bill by Rep. Ralph Rivers
that would postpone for one year
the requirement that Alaska’s
Employment Security System
start to repay the $8,765,000 it
owes the Federal Employment Se
curity Reserve.
Under exisiting law the local
fund payments were to have
started Jan. 1.
The payments will involve an
increase in employer’s contribu
tions of .15 per cent on the first
$3,000 of each employe’s annual
wage during the first year of the
repayment period and an addi
tional .15 per cent each year fol
lowing until the indebtedness is
paid off.
Alaska borrowed the money
over a period of several years
when its Social Security program
was running in the red.
As introduced, Rivers’ bill
would have granted a two-year
moratorium and would have re
lieved Michigan and Pennsyl
vannia as well as Alaska during
the period involved.
