§ 22-4-22-3. Secretary of state; filing agreement
Sec. 3. The commissioner is authorized to enter into reciprocal agreements with the proper agencies under the laws of other states or jurisdictions or of the United States, which agreements shall become effective after filing with the secretary of state, by the terms of which agreements:
(1) potential rights to benefits accumulated under the unemployment compensation laws of one (1) or more states or jurisdictions or of the United States, or both, may constitute the basis for the payment of benefits through a single appropriate agency under terms which the commissioner finds will be fair and reasonable to all affected interests and which will not result in any substantial loss to the fund;
(2) wages or services in employment subject to an unemployment compensation law of another state or of the United States shall be deemed to be wages in employment for employers for the purpose of determining a claimant's rights to unemployment compensation benefits under this article, and wages in employment for employers as defined in this article shall be deemed to be wages or services on the basis of which unemployment compensation under the law of another state or of the United States is payable, but no such arrangement shall be entered into unless it contains provisions for reimbursements to the unemployment insurance benefit fund for such of the unemployment compensation benefits paid under this part upon the basis of such wages or services, and provisions for reimbursements from the unemployment insurance benefit fund for such of the compensation paid under such other law upon the basis of wages for employment as defined in this article as the commissioner finds will be fair and reasonable to all affected interests;
(3) in accordance with reciprocal agreements entered into under this chapter, coverage and allocation to certain states of services and wages paid for such services, performed both in Indiana and one (1) or more other states, shall be deemed employment and wages in the state as provided in those agreements so long as they remain in force; and
(4) if services are performed both in Indiana and in one (1) or more other states with which no reciprocal agreement exists relating to the allocation of services and wages, and the services are not localized in any state, then contributions will be required on wages for services performed in Indiana, if:
(A) those services constitute employment within the meaning of IC 22-4-8-1; and
