is payable.
    (2) An individual's eligibility for DUA shall be determined, where a 
reliable record of employment, self-employment and wages is not 
obtainable, on the basis of an affidavit submitted to the State agency 
by the individual, and on a form prescribed by the Secretary which shall 
be furnished to the individual by the State agency.
    (b) Determinations of weekly applications. The State agency shall 
promptly, upon the filing of an application for a payment of DUA with 
respect to a week of unemployment, determine whether the individual is 
entitled to a payment of DUA with respect to that week, and, if 
entitled, the amount of DUA to which the individual is entitled.
    (c) Redetermination. The provisions of the applicable State law 
concerning the right to request, or authority to undertake, 
reconsideration of a determination pertaining to regular compensation 
under the applicable State law shall apply to determinations pertaining 
to DUA.
    (d) Notices to individual. The State agency shall give notice in 
writing to the individual, by the most expeditious method, of any 
determination or redetermination of an initial application, and of any 
determination of an application for DUA with respect to a week of 
unemployment which denies DUA or reduces the weekly amount initially 
determined to be payable, and of any redetermination of an application 
for DUA with respect to a week of unemployment. Each notice of 
determination or redetermination shall include such information 
regarding the determination or redetermination and notice of right to 
reconsideration or appeal, or both, as is furnished with written notices 
of determination and written notices of redeterminations with respect to 
claims for regular compensation.
    (e) Promptness. Full payment of DUA when due shall be made with the 
greatest promptness that is administratively feasible.
    (f) Secretary's Standard. The procedures for making determinations 
and redeterminations, and furnishing written notices of determinations, 
redeterminations, and rights of appeal to individuals applying for DUA, 
shall be consistent with this part and with the Secretary's ``Standard 
for Claim Determinations--Separation Information,'' Employment Security 
Manual. Part V, sections 6010 et seq. (Appendix B of this part).
