12.2.2.1 Timeframe for Requesting Learnfare Fact Finding Reviews

A request for a Learnfare Fact Finding Review must be made within 45 calendar days from whichever date is later:

Mailing date of the Learnfare Financial Penalty Notification stating the student is not in compliance with Learnfare requirements; or

Effective date of the decision announced in the notice.

However, a Learnfare financial penalty will not be imposed if the participant or family requests a Fact Finding Review within 10 calendar days after the date of the Learnfare Financial Penalty Notification. In this situation, a Learnfare financial penalty will not be imposed until after the Fact Finding decision is issued and is favorable to the agency, unless the participant withdraws the request in writing or abandons the request.
