Universal Citation: 26 TX Admin Code ยง 561.5

Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) When the preliminary results of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's (HHSC) investigation indicate that an employee might have committed reportable conduct, HHSC sends the employee a written notice that includes:

(1) a brief summary of the preliminary results of the investigation and facts on which they are based;

(2) a statement that the employee may request an informal review (IR) by HHSC to dispute the preliminary results of the investigation;

(3) a statement that a request for an IR must be made in writing no later than 10 calendar days after the date the employee receives written notice of the preliminary results of the investigation; and

(4) contact information for the HHSC office where an employee must submit the request for an IR.

(b) An employee may dispute the preliminary results of the investigation by requesting an IR in writing no later than 10 calendar days after the date the employee received the written notice described in subsection (a) of this section.

(c) An employee's request for or participation in a requested IR does not relieve the employee of the requirement to comply with § 561.7 of this chapter (relating to Reportable Conduct Finding and Notice and Opportunity for Administrative Hearing). If HHSC upholds the preliminary results of the investigation, HHSC will provide the employee with notice of reportable conduct in accordance with §561.7.
