RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS AUTHORIZED. The Commission is hereby authorized to enter into reciprocal arrangements with appropriate and duly authorized agencies of other states or of the federal government, or both, whereby: 1. Services performed by an individual for a single employing unit for which services are customarily performed in more than one state shall be deemed to be services performed entirely within any one of the states in which: a. any parts of such individual's service is performed, b. such individual has his residence, or c. the employing unit maintains a place of business, provided there is in effect, as to such services, an election, approved by the agency charged with the administration of such state's unemployment compensation law, pursuant to which all the services performed by such individual for such employing unit are deemed to be performed entirely within such state; 2. The Commission shall cooperate with the Department of Labor of the United States to the fullest extent consistent with the provisions of this act, and shall take such action, through the adoption of appropriate rules, administrative methods and standards, as may be necessary to secure to this state and its citizens all advantages available under the provisions of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C., Section 301 et seq., that relate to unemployment compensation, the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, 26 U.S.C., Section 3301 et seq., the Wagner-Peyser Act, 29 U.S.C., Section 49 et seq., the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970, 26 U.S.C., Section 3304 et seq., the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, 29 U.S.C., Section 2801 et seq., and any federal comprehensive manpower act and any other similar or related federal acts; 3. The Commission shall participate in any arrangements for the payment of compensation on the basis of combining an individual's wages and employment covered under said Oklahoma Employment Security Act, as amended by this act, with his wages and employment covered under the unemployment compensation laws of other states which are approved by the United States Secretary of Labor in consultation with the state unemployment compensation agencies as reasonably calculated to assure the prompt and full payment of compensation in such situations and which include provisions for: a. applying the base period of a single state law to a claim involving the combining of an individual's wages and employment covered under two or more state unemployment compensation laws, and b. avoiding the duplicate use of wage and employment by reason of such combining; and 4. Contributions due under this act with respect to wages for insured work shall for the purposes 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 such reimbursement to the fund of such contributions and the actual earnings thereon as the Commission finds will be fair and reasonable as to all affected interests.
