Tip Credit and Tip Pooling Provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act
[Excerpt] The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), enacted in 1938 (P.L. 75-718), is the federal legislation that establishes the general minimum wage that must be paid to all covered workers.

Veterans’ Benefits: The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program
[Excerpt] Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment for veterans (VR&E) is an entitlement program that provides job training and related services “to enable veterans with service connected disabilities to achieve maximum independence in daily living and, to the maximum extent feasible, to become employable and to obtain and maintain suitable employment.” The program is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VR&E program provides comprehensive services to enable veterans with service connected disabilities and employment handicaps to become employable and maintain suitable employment. For severely disabled veterans for whom employment is not possible, the program strives to help them achieve the highest quality of independent living possible with a future chance of employment, given medical and technological advances.
This report provides an overview of the VR&E program. After a brief background section, it describes how the program establishes individual veterans’ entitlements and the scope of benefits and services available to qualified veterans. The final section provides participation and outcome data
The Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF): State Insolvency and Federal Loans to States
[Excerpt] Although states have a great deal of autonomy in how they establish and run their unemployment insurance programs, federal law requires states to pay Unemployment Compensation (UC) benefits promptly as provided under state law. During some recessions, current taxes and reserve balances may be insufficient to cover state obligations for UC benefits. States may borrow funds from the federal loan account within the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) to meet UC benefit obligations.
This report summarizes how insolvent states may borrow funds from the UTF loan account to meet their UC benefit obligations. It includes the manner in which states must repay federal UTF loans. It also provides details on how the UTF loans may trigger potential interest accrual and explains the timetable for increased net Federal Unemployment Taxes Act (FUTA) taxes if the funds are not repaid promptly
