2-020.09C Right to Appeal

Employment First participants have the right to mediation and/or appeal:

1. The determination by the Department that the individual has not complied with EF requirements or with terms of the Self-Sufficiency Contract; or
2. The participant’s contention that the Department has not complied with the terms of the Self-Sufficiency Contract.

The ADC cash assistance and medical assistance and EF supportive services must not be reduced or terminated pending mediation or the appeal hearing if the individual requests mediation or a fair hearing within ten days following the date the notice of adverse action is mailed and the participant does not refuse continued assistance (see 468 NAC 1-009.03F).
