(c) Limit the amount which may be obligated during any twelve-month period beginning on July 1 and ending on the following June 30 to an amount which does not exceed the amount by which the aggregate of the amounts credited to such unemployment trust fund pursuant to section 903 of the federal "Social Security Act" during the same twelve-month period and the thirty-four preceding twelve-month periods exceeds the aggregate of the amounts paid out for benefits and obligated for administrative costs during such thirty-five twelve-month periods.

(3) Amounts credited to the unemployment trust fund pursuant to section 903 of the federal "Social Security Act" which are obligated for payment of administrative costs or paid out for benefits shall be charged against equivalent amounts which were first credited and which are not already so charged; except that no amount obligated for administrative costs during any twelve-month period specified in subsection (2) of this section may be charged against any amount credited during any twelve-month period earlier than the thirty-fourth twelve-month period preceding such period.

(4) Moneys appropriated as provided in subsection (2) of this section for payment of administrative costs shall be requisitioned from time to time by the division as required for payment of such costs as incurred, and upon receipt shall be credited to an appropriately designated account to which all payments shall be charged. Any unexpended portion of moneys appropriated for payment of administrative costs shall be returned for credit to the account of the state of Colorado in the federal unemployment trust fund.
