BRIDGES ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES

MOAHR will review the hearing request withdrawal and: • If approved, send an Order Dismissing Request for Hearing Pursuant to Withdrawal to all parties. • If denied, an administrative hearing will be scheduled. 4. Withdrawal requests received at the time of hearing. When a client comes to the local office for a hearing, and while at the local office, decides to withdraw the request, contact MOAHR to advise of the withdrawal request. The assigned ALJ must have an opportunity to discuss the withdrawal request with the client and AHR or review the signed withdrawal request that may be faxed. Do not send the client away until MOAHR has reviewed the withdrawal request and made a determination whether to grant or deny the request. If the withdrawal request is denied, the hearing will take place as scheduled while the client is present in the local office. 5. If a withdrawal fails to dispose of all issues (partial withdrawal), MOAHR may accept the DHS-18A on the identified program and a hearing will be conducted on unresolved issues. STATE SSI PAYMENT (SSP) SSPs are made for only those months the recipient received a regular monthly federal benefit. This is shown on State On-Line Query (SOLQ) as a recurring payment dated the first of the month. SSPs are not issued for retroactive or supplemental federal benefits. The client or AHR may request a hearing when the client receives a DHS-430, Benefit Reduction Notice, stating that the SSP is being reduced or terminated; see BEM 660, State SSI Payment. Handle these hearing requests in the same manner as all other benefit hearing requests. When a hearing request (usually a DHS-430) is received, do all the following: • Log the receipt of the hearing request on Bridges. A timely hearing request will delete the negative action and issue a warrant equal to the previous quarterly payment.
