DEDUCTION OF INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDINGS.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2-301 and 2-303 of
this title, nothing shall be construed to prohibit the deduction of
an amount from unemployment compensation, otherwise payable to an
individual, to pay the withholding of federal or state individual
income tax, if that individual elected to have such a deduction made
and that deduction is made under a program approved by the United
States Secretary of Labor. For the purposes of this section, if an
individual elects to have this deduction taken from his or her
weekly benefits, the federal withholding will be deducted at the
percentage specified in the Federal Internal Revenue Code at 26
U.S.C., Section 3402(p)(2), and three percent (3%) of the total
benefit amount will be deducted to pay the state withholding.
