Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2-301 and 2-303 of Title 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes, nothing shall be construed to prohibit the deduction of an amount from unemployment compensation otherwise payable to an individual to pay for health insurance premiums if such individual elected to have such deduction made and such deduction is made under a program approved by the United States Secretary of Labor. For purposes of this section, the term "premium" shall only include the sum of money agreed to be paid by the insured individual to the underwriter as consideration for the insurance.
