    (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.
