4-008.05 Fair Hearing

Any household that has its benefit reduced or cancelled as a result of funding cuts may request a fair hearing if it disagrees with the action, subject to the following conditions:

1. The request for a fair hearing must be based on a household’s belief that:

a. Its benefit level was computed incorrectly under the rules governing the reduction or cancellation; or

b. These rules were misapplied or misinterpreted.

2. Households do not have the right to continuation of benefits pending fair hearings.

3. The appropriate amount of restored benefits may be issued if it is determined that benefits were decreased by more than the reduction rules required.
