3-005.05B2 Central Office Guidelines

The Central Office uses the following guidelines in determining the need for a disqualification hearing:

1. A disqualification hearing must be initiated regardless of the current eligibility status of the individual;
2. The burden of proving IPV is on the Department; and
3. The Central Office will not initiate a disqualification hearing against an accused individual whose case is currently being referred for prosecution or after any action taken against the accused individual by a court, if the factual issues of the case arise out of the same, or related, circumstances.
