South Carolina Code of Regulations
Chapter 61 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
Subchapter 61-94 - WIC Vendors
Section 61-94.801 - Administrative Appeals

All vendors have the opportunity to request a fair hearing (administrative review) regarding certain adverse actions taken by the Department. The vendor must provide the Department with a written fair hearing request within fifteen (15) calendar days of the receipt of the notice of the adverse action. The written request must list the actions with which the vendor disagrees, as well as reasons the vendor disagrees with these actions. If the vendor does not request a hearing within the fifteen (15) calendar-day period following notification, the Department's decision becomes final.

If a timely request of final review is filed with the DHEC Clerk of the Board, the Clerk will provide additional information regarding review procedures. If the DHEC Board declines, in writing, to schedule a final review conference, the Department's decision becomes final and the vendor may request a contested case hearing before the Administrative Law Court within thirty (30) calendar days after notice is mailed informing the vendor that the Board declined to hold a final review conference.
