(3) Any amount otherwise required to be deducted and withheld from unemployment compensation pursuant to Section 13(c)(3)(B) of the Food Stamp Act of 1977.
(c) Any amount deducted and withheld under subsection (b) shall be paid by the secretary to the appropriate agency within the Department of Human Resources.
(d) Any amount deducted and withheld under subsection (b) shall be treated for all purposes as if it were paid to the individual as unemployment compensation and paid by the individual to the Department of Human Resources as repayment of the individual's uncollected food stamp overissuance.
