(1) The office of administrative hearings (OAH) may schedule a hearing to be conducted in-person, by telephone, or by video.

(2) A telephonic or video hearing is where the appellant appears by telephone, video, or other electronic means.

(3) An in-person hearing is where the appellant appears face-to-face with the ALJ. The other parties may choose to appear either in person, by telephone, or by video.

(4) Whether a hearing is held in-person, by video, or telephonically, each party has the right to see all documents, hear all testimony, and question all witnesses.

(5) If a hearing is originally scheduled as an in-person hearing, the appellant may ask that the ALJ change it to a telephonic or video hearing. Once a telephonic or video hearing begins, the ALJ may stop, reschedule, and change the hearing to an in-person hearing if any party makes such a request.
