72-1008. LIMITATION OF BENEFIT ENTITLEMENTS TO PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF AVAILABLE FUNDS. Claimants receiving benefits under this chapter are not granted an absolute entitlement to benefits. Benefits must be paid in accordance with the amount of the legislative appropriation. If the commission determines at any time that the appropriated funds for a fiscal year will not be an amount that will fully pay all claims, the commission may make appropriate proportionate reductions in benefits to all claimants. Such reductions do not entitle claimants to future retroactive reimbursements in future fiscal years unless the legislature makes appropriations for such retroactive benefits.
