grants and made in accordance with the Federal
standards as being necessary for proper adminis-
tration of the Unemployment Compensation Act do
not have to have the approval of the Attorney
General.
"Salaries of the employees of the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission and members of the
Commission shall be paid in accordance with agree-
ments made between the Commission and the Social
Security Board, but in no case shall such salaries
be less than those authorized by the Act creating
the Unemployment Compensation Commission; provided,
however, there shall be no salary increases to em-
ployees of the Texas Unemployment Compensation ex-
cept those that are the result of the orderly ad-
ministration of the merit system of personnel ad-
ministration as required by the Social Security
Act.
"It is specifically provided that all moneys
now on deposit to the credit of the Unemployment
Compensation Fund, and any moneys received for the
credit of such fund, are hereby appropriated for
the payment of benefits and refunds as authorized
by the provisions of the Unemployment Compensation
Law . "
We find nothing in the last above quoted special
provision that could be construed to except Texas Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission from the rule announced by us
in our Opinion No. 0-6705.
There is nothing shown in your inquiry, or other-
wise known to us, indicating that there is anything in any
of the standards of the Social Security Board, or in any
requirement whatsoever of any federal agency that would be
violated by the enforcement of the rule forbidding employ-
ment of both husband and wife in the State departments, and
we express no opinion as to the probable effect of such
requirement, standard or stipulation, if such were present.
We trust that what we have said fully answers your
inquiry.
OS-MR-wc Very truly yours
