new subsection:
    ``(g) Treatment of Individuals Who Exhaust Disaster Unemployment 
Benefits.--Any individual who exhausts such individual's rights to 
disaster unemployment assistance under section 410 of the Robert T. 
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act shall be entitled 
to emergency compensation under this Act in the same manner as if--
            ``(1) such assistance were regular compensation under the 
        State law, and
            ``(2) the work and wages taken into account in determining 
        the amount of such assistance had been covered by the State 
        law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, to the extent that any 
payments under this Act to any State are required by reason of this 
subsection, such payments shall be made from funds available for 
purposes of providing assistance under such section 410.''
    (b) The amendment made by subsection (a) shall apply to weeks 
beginning after March 6, 1993.
