Summary

When a State does not have an agreement to run the program, the Secretary must write rules and run the needed parts of the benefit program. The Secretary must also make sure any worker who is denied payments can get a fair hearing. A final decision about whether someone is entitled to benefits can be reviewed by the courts under the same federal review rules that apply to benefit decisions.
