(a) Upon receipt of a hearing request, the Appeals Unit supervisor assigns the case to an administrative hearing officer (AHO) who determines if:
(1) the hearing
request was made timely. A hearing request is considered timely if the hearing
request was in writing, signed by the resource family or authorized
representative, and received by the Department of Human Services (DHS) within
30 days of the action, or failure to act, which is being appealed;
and
(2) the appeal relates to an
appealable issue. Issues on which an appeal can be granted are described at OAC
340:2-5-91.
(b) If a hearing request is both timely and relates to an appealable issue, the Appeals Unit mails the notice of hearing to the resource family. Copies of this notification are sent to the local office or State Office, as appropriate, and the authorized representative, if any.
