There is hereby established a special fund, separate and apart from all public moneys or funds of this state, to be known as a contribution fund, which shall be administered by the board exclusively for the purposes of this article. Such fund shall consist of and there shall be deposited in such fund: (a) All contributions, interest and penalties collected under Sections 25-11-9 and 25-11-11; (b) all moneys appropriated or otherwise contributed thereto; (c) any property or securities and earnings thereof acquired through the use of moneys belonging to the fund; (d) interest earned upon any moneys in the fund; and (e) all sums recovered upon the bond of any official or otherwise for losses sustained by the fund and all other moneys received for the fund from any other source. All moneys in the fund shall be mingled and undivided. Subject to the provisions of this article, the board is vested with full power, authority and jurisdiction over the fund, including all moneys and property or securities belonging thereto, and may perform any and all acts, whether or not specifically designated, which are necessary to the administration thereof consistent with the provisions of this article. Withdrawals from such fund shall be made for, and solely for (A) payment of amounts required to be paid to the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to and in accordance with an agreement entered into under Section 25-11-7 of this article; (B) payment of refunds provided for in Section 25-11-9(3) of this article; and (C) refunds of overpayments, not otherwise adjustable, made by a political subdivision or instrumentality. The State Treasurer shall be the ex officio treasurer and custodian of the contribution fund, shall administer such fund in accordance with the provisions of this article and the directions of the board, and shall pay all warrants drawn upon it in accordance with the provisions of this section and with such regulations as the board may prescribe pursuant thereto or pursuant to the provisions of any other applicable law of this state with respect thereto. The State Treasurer shall be liable on his official bond for the faithful performance of his duties in connection with the contribution fund under this article. From the contribution fund the custodian of the fund shall pay to the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States such amounts and at such time or times as may be directed by the board in accordance with any agreement entered into under Section 25-11-7 and applicable federal law. The board shall submit to the Governor and the Legislative Budget Office at least ninety (90) days in advance of the beginning of each Regular Session of the State Legislature, or at such time as may be otherwise required by law, an estimate of the amounts deemed by it as necessary for appropriation to the contribution fund and for the administration of Articles 1 and 3 for each ensuing fiscal year. The board, in its discretion, may authorize or designate each agency of the state, each political subdivision of the state, and each instrumentality of the state or of a political subdivision to individually deposit for and on behalf of the state, in accordance with Section 25-11-7, social security contributions directly in the Federal Reserve Bank or any other social security contribution collection fund established by the Social Security Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, and all contributions or other payments as required under Sections 25-11-9 and 25-11-11.
