Rule 1-2974 - PUBLIC BENEFITS CASES - ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS

2974.1

An administrative review is an informal meeting between the person who has requested a hearing at OAH and a representative of the agency or service provider whose action or inaction is being challenged by that person. The purpose of an administrative review is to determine whether the agency's or service provider's position is valid and, if possible, to achieve an informal solution.

2974.2

An agency or service provider shall offer each person who requests a hearing at OAH an opportunity for an administrative review, if required by law. At least five (5) calendar days before the hearing date, the agency or service provider shall file and send to all parties and their representatives a status report, which says whether an administrative review was held, and the results of any review.

2974.3

In cases involving shelter or other services for homeless persons, as required by the Homeless Services Reform Act, DHS shall conduct the administrative review.

2974.4

As required by law, the agency or service provider shall make the case file available to the person who requested the hearing.
