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).
