No State workmen's compensation law shall be included on the Secretary's list unless such State law makes available to miners totally disabled for such work such vocational rehabilitation facilities as are provided by the State under its workmen's compensation programs to disabled employees in general.

(b) No State workmen's compensation law shall be included on the Secretary's list if the use of vocational rehabilitation facilities in such State would result in a partial or total loss of benefits to such miner.
