7 AAC 49.030 - Request for hearing

(a) Unless otherwise provided in federal law, a request for a hearing within the scope of 7 AAC 49.020 must be made to the department in writing by a recipient, or by a legal representative acting on the recipient's behalf, not later than 30 days after the date of the notice required under 7 AAC 49.060. A hearing request may be accepted after the time limit under this section only if the administrative law judge finds, based on the evidence submitted, that the request for a hearing could not be filed within the time limit.

(b) Unless the request is denied under 7 AAC 49.080, the department will refer the matter to the office of administrative hearings (AS 44.64.010 ) as provided under AS 44.64.060 and 2 AAC 64.120.

(c) Other than a care coordinator, a service provider may not request a hearing for a recipient if it concerns services by that provider or if the outcome of the hearing affects the level of paid services to that provider.
