the Unemployment Trust Fund such amounts, not exceeding the amount standing to
this state's account therein, as the administrator deems necessary for the payment of
benefits. Upon receipt thereof, said treasurer shall deposit such moneys in a depository

where the claim for benefits was filed. The administrator shall be liable on his official
bond for the faithful performance of his duties in connection with the Unemployment

Trust Fund the amounts, not exceeding the amount in the Unemployment Trust Fund,
