Any permanency guardian who is receiving guardianship subsidies is entitled to appeal any decision made by the Department concerning his or her specific subsidy. To appeal a decision, a written request for an Administrative Hearing must be made to the Commissioner or his designee within 10 days of the decision.
No appeal is available to an adjustment made to a subsidy as the result of a system-wide, across-the-board change in the guardianship subsidy program, including but not limited to a change in eligibility criteria or payment rates or systems.
