applicable State law for the individual shall be the State law of such 
State.
    (b) Assignment of service and wages. (1) An individual's Federal 
civilian service and Federal wages shall be assigned to the State in 
which the individual had his or her last official station prior to 
filing a first claim unless:
    (i) At the time a first claim is filed the individual resides in 
another State in which, after separation from Federal civilian service, 
the individual performed service covered under the State law, in which 
case all of the individual's Federal civilian service and wages shall be 
assigned to the latter State; or
    (ii) Prior to filing a first claim an individual's last official 
station was outside the States, in which case all of the individual's 
Federal civilian service and Federal wages shall be assigned to the 
State in which the individual resides at the time the individual files a 
first claim, provided the individual is personally present in a State 
when the individual files the first claim.
    (2) Federal civilian service and wages assigned to a State in error 
shall be reassigned for use by the proper State agency. An appropriate 
record of a reassignment shall be made by the State agency which makes 
the reassignment.

shall be transferred to another State where such transfer is necessary 
for the purposes of a combined-wage claim filed by an individual.
    (c) Assignment deemed complete. All of an individual's Federal 
civilian service and Federal wages shall be deemed to have been assigned

paragraph (b) of this section.
    (d) Use of assigned service and wages. All assigned Federal civilian
