Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a State, at its option, to enter into an agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Labor under which the State shall: (1) collect the tax imposed by the Federal Unemployment Tax Act; (2) retain a specified portion of such tax to be used for the administration of the State's unemployment compensation law and public employment offices; and (3) pay to the Treasury the remaining portion of such tax not retained. Allows a State to deposit any unexpended funds into its unemployment fund for use in payment of unemployment compensation.

Authorizes the Secretaries to declare a State to be in violation of such arragement if either should determine that the State is not meeting the requirements of this Act. Provides that a refusal to enter into an agreement and a declaration of violation shall be subject to administrative and judicial review. Provides tax penalties for any violation of such an agreement.
Provides that any State entering into such an agreement shall not be eligible to receive payments under title III or title IX of the Social Security Act or under the Wagner-Peyser Act.
