Does the USCF have a separate set of rules for Blitz games? In particular, are illegal moves handled differently in blitz than in regular time controls?

I don't know about USCF, but I think FIDE blitz rules say that illegal moves automatically lose.

There are seperate rules, at least in part. Such as being able to take the king if a check is missed. I think illegal moves are just played over if they're missed, but can be called if seen in time (not completely sure about that).
