l. Appealing the Decision
The parent shall be entitled to an administrative hearing to dispute an intended action to reduce or terminate benefits or if the parent disagrees with the recoupment plan. The parent shall not be entitled to an administrative hearing to dispute the findings of the administrative disqualification hearing official or the penalty imposed.
The parent may contest the hearing official’s decision by appealing to the Superior Court within forty-five days of the date the hearing official issues the decision. The disqualified individual shall follow the appeal procedures described in subsection (n) of section 17b-749-21 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies concerning appeals of administrative hearing decisions.
If a court reverses the finding of guilt of an intentional recipient error, the CCAP administrator shall reinstate the case if the family is currently eligible and issues payments for any underpayment that may have occurred.
