(a) Applicable State law. The provisions of the applicable State law
concerning the right of appeal and fair hearing from a determination or
redetermination of entitlement to State unemployment compensation shall
apply to determinations and redeterminations of eligibility for or
entitlement to UCFE and waiting period credit. Any such determination or
redetermination shall be subject to appeal and review only in the manner
and to the extent provided in the applicable State law with respect to
determinations and redeterminations of entitlement to State unemployment
compensation.
(b) Rights of appeal and fair hearing. The provisions on right to
appeal and opportunity for a fair hearing with respect to claims for
UCFE shall be consistent with this part and with sections 303(a)(1) and
303(a)(3) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 503(a)(1) and 503(a)(3).
(c) Promptness on appeals. (1) Decisions on appeals under the UCFE
Program shall accord with the Secretary's ``Standard for Appeals
Promptness--Unemployment Compensation'' in part 650 of this chapter, and
with Sec. 609.1(d).
(2) Any provision of an applicable State law for advancement or
priority of unemployment compensation cases on judicial calenders, or
otherwise intended to provide for the prompt payment of unemployent
compensation when due, shall apply to proceedings involving claims for
UCFE.
(d) Appeal and review by Federal agency. If a Federal agency
believes that a State agency's determination or redetermination of an
individual's eligibility for or entitlement to UCFE is incorrect, the
Federal agency may seek appeal and review of such determination or
redetermination in the same manner as an interested employer may seek
appeal and review under the applicable State law.
