Any request for a hearing must be made verbally or in writing by the household or its representative on any appealable action which occurred within the past 90 days. A request for a hearing is defined as a clear expression, oral or written, by the household or its representative that it wishes to appeal a decision. Staff must not limit or interfere in any way with the household’s freedom to request a hearing.
Note: If a verbal request is received, the local office must request that the household submit a written request and help the household with the written request if the household requires assistance. If a household makes an oral request and does not submit a written request for a hearing, the local office must complete the procedures necessary to start the hearing process.
Appealable action by the local office includes a denial of a request for restoration of benefits lost more than 90 days but less than a year before the request for restoration. A household may request a fair hearing at any time within its certification period to dispute its current level of benefits.
