Ala. Admin. Code r. 660-1-5-.03
A request for a hearing may be made by an aggrieved person or his representative or legal counsel. A hearing request is any clear written statement to the State Department or County Department that the aggrieved person wants the opportunity to present the case to a higher authority. An oral hearing request may be made in the Food Stamp program. The request for a hearing must be postmarked within 60 days (15 days for the Individual Family Grant program) following the action (or inaction) with which the aggrieved person is dissatisfied. In the absence of a legible postmark, the State or County Department will assume the request was mailed three days prior to its receipt. If the aggrieved person or his representative presents a written statement to the State or County Department, the date the statement is presented will be considered the filing date. (A request for a state-level administrative disqualification hearing in the Food Stamp program must be made within 15 days of the mailing of the county-level administrative disqualification decision.)
