This order shall rule:
All financial transactions under s. 1 must be mentioned separately in the accounts of the unemployment insurance fund (compensation fund).
The State Secretariat for the Economy (SECO) pays the compensation fund, in quarterly instalments, the amount due at the end of each quarter by the Confederation in respect of its participation. The amount of the instalments to be paid is determined on the basis of the Confederation budget.
The compensation body for unemployment insurance (clearing body) establishes at 31 March the counting of the participation of the Confederation for the previous financial year.
1 Cash loans are provided by the Confederation to the compensation fund if the quarterly planning of the SECO shows that the fund's assets do not allow it to fulfil its payment obligations.
2 SECO informs the Federal Finance Authority of the amount of loans it needs.
1 The SECO can ask the Federal Treasury to release the loan in minimum increments of 100 million francs. This request must be communicated within a period of ten days.
2 The compensation fund pays the loans under market conditions. The Federal Administration of Finance sets the interest rate.
3 The SECO and the Federal Finance Authority jointly determine the duration of the loan at the time the loan is granted.
1 If the clearing fund cannot repay the loan at the due date, it must repay the loan as soon as the financial situation of the clearing fund and labour market developments permit.
2 Partial reimbursement shall only be made if the amount available to that effect is at least 100 million francs.
The Federal Finance Authority may grant the clearing fund a current account credit to cover a liquidity need in the short term. It sets the limit for this appropriation.
