(a) Continuance of hearing.
(1)
Additional evidence. At the
conclusion of a hearing, the administrative hearing officer (AHO) may determine
that additional evidence is needed before a final decision can be made. If so,
the AHO may continue the hearing and direct the parties to submit any
additional evidence the AHO deems necessary. The AHO may set time limits for
the submission.
(2)
Scheduling. If the AHO is informed, in advance of a hearing, that
the resource family, authorized representative, or Department of Human Services
(DHS) needs a continuance, the AHO continues the hearing if good cause is
shown.
(b) Withdrawal of request for hearing. A resource family or authorized representative may withdraw a hearing request in writing, signed by the resource family or authorized representative.
(c) Dismissal of hearing request. If the resource family or authorized representative fails to appear for the scheduled hearing and fails to submit sufficient evidence to establish good cause for failure to appear, the AHO issues a letter of decision dismissing the request for hearing.
