Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 182-526-0035
Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024
(1) When counting days to calculate when a hearing deadline ends under program rules or statutes:
(a) Do not include the day of the action,
notice, or order. For example, if a hearing decision is mailed on Tuesday and
the party has twenty-one days to request a review, start counting the days with
Wednesday.
(b) If the last day of
the period is a Saturday, Sunday, or a designated holiday under WAC
357-31-005, the deadline is the
next business day.
(c) For periods
of seven days or less, count only business days. For example, if the party has
seven days to respond to a review request that was mailed on Friday, May 10th,
the response period ends on Tuesday, May 21st.
(d) For periods over seven days, count every
calendar day, including Saturdays, Sundays, and designated holidays under WAC
357-31-005.
(2) The deadline is 5:00 p.m. on the last day.
(3) If the party who requested the hearing misses a deadline, that party may lose the right to a hearing or appeal of a decision.
