(d) Contributions due under this act with respect to wages for employment shall,

for the purpose of section three hundred one of this act, 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 shall be entered into unless it contains provisions for reimbursement

to the fund of such contributions, or an amount equal to such contributions, less

any benefits which may have been paid by such other state, based upon such

contributions. Such arrangement may provide for the transfer of interest earned on

such contributions while credited to the state to which they were erroneously paid.

Reimbursements paid from the fund pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section

shall be deemed to be benefits for all the purposes of this act. The department is

authorized to make to other state or Federal agencies and to receive from such

other state or Federal agencies reimbursements from or to the fund in accordance

with arrangements entered into pursuant to this section. The administration of this

act and of other state and Federal unemployment compensation and public

employment service laws will be promoted by cooperation between this State and

such other states and the appropriate Federal agencies in exchanging services and

making available facilities and information. The department is, therefore, authorized

to make such investigations, secure and transmit such information, make available

such services and facilities and exercise such of the other powers provided herein

with respect to the administration of this act as it deems necessary or appropriate

to facilitate the administration of any such unemployment compensation or public

employment service law and in like manner to accept and utilize information

services and facilities made available to this State by the agency charged with the

administration of any such other unemployment compensation or public

employment service law.

To the extent permissible under the laws and Constitution of the United States,

the department is authorized to enter into or cooperate in arrangements whereby

facilities and services provided under this act and facilities and services provided

under the unemployment compensation law of any foreign government may be

utilized for the taking of claims and the payment of benefits under the employment

security law of this State or under a similar law of such government; and
