Sec. 603.3  Eligibility condition for claimants.

    (a) The State unemployment compensation agency shall require, as a 
condition of eligibility for unemployment benefits, that each claimant 
for benefits furnish to the agency his/her social security number (or 
numbers if he/she has more than one such number), and the agency shall 
utilize such numbers in the administration of the unemployment 
compensation program so as to associate the agency's records pertaining 
to each claimant with the claimant's social security number(s).
    (b) If the State agency determines that a claimant has refused or 
failed to provide a Social Security Number, then that individual shall 
be ineligible to participate in the unemployment compensation program.
    (c) Any claimant held ineligible for not supplying a social security 
number may become eligible upon providing the State agency with such 
number retroactive to the extent permitted under State law. (Section 
1137(a)(1)).
