APPEAL HEARING PROCESS

Submit the State Agency Appeal Summary (DHS-0035) (PDF) and complete appeal documentation to DHS Appeals after you have re-reviewed the case and talked with the client.
DHS encourages the county to talk with the client about the issue before the appeal is held. If a client requests an agency conference to contest a denial of expedited benefits, schedule it within 2 working days of the denial.
If the client wishes to withdraw their appeal, encourage the client to submit a signed statement. Send a copy of the signed statement to DHS Appeals. Clients may also orally withdraw their request for a hearing. Send the client a notice indicating that you have withdrawn their request for a hearing per their oral request.
