(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
(exclusive of findings which are final and conclusive under Sec. 614.25)
shall apply to determinations and redeterminations of eligibility for or
entitlement to UCX 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.
(Section 614.24 governs appeals of findings of the Veterans
Administration)
(b) Rights of appeal and fair hearing. The provisions on right of
appeal and opportunity for a fair hearing with respect to claims for UCX
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 UCX
Program shall accord with the Secretary's ``Standard for Appeals
Promptness--Unemployment Compensation'' in part 650 of this chapter, and
with Sec. 614.1(d).
(2) Any provision of an applicable State law for advancement or
priority of unemployment compensation cases on judicial calendars, or
otherwise intended to provide for the prompt payment of unemployment
compensation when due, shall apply to proceedings involving claims for
UCX.
(d) Appeal and review by Federal military agency. If a Federal
military agency believes that a State agency's determination or
redetermination of an individual's eligibility for or entitlement to UCX
is incorrect, the Federal military 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.
