| Administration of UCFE Program |
(a) Administering Program. The Department shall administer the UCFE
Program through personnel of the Department or through other
arrangements under procedures prescribed by the Department, in the case
of any State which does not have an Agreement with the Secretary as
provided for in 5 U.S.C. 8502. The procedures prescribed by the
Department under this section shall be consistent with the Act and this
part.
(b) Applicable State law. On the filing by an individual of a claim
for UCFE in accordance with arrangements under this section, UCFE shall
be paid to the individual, if eligible, in the same amount, on the same
terms, and subject to the same conditions as would be paid to the
individual under the applicable State law if the individual's Federal
civilian service and Federal wages had been included as employment and
wages under the State law. Any such claim shall include the individual's
Federal civilian service and Federal wages, combined with any service
and wages covered by State law. However, if the individual, without
regard to his or her Federal civilian service and Federal wages, has
employment or wages sufficient to qualify for compensation during the
benefit year under that State law, then payments of UCFE under this
section may be made only on the basis of the individual's Federal
civilian service and Federal wages.
(c) Fair hearing. An individual whose claim for UCFE is denied under
this section is entitled to a fair hearing under rules of procedure
prescribed by the Department. A final determination by the Department
with respect to entitlement to UCFE under this section is subject to
review by the courts in the same manner and to the same extent as is
provided by section 205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 405(g).
