12.3.2 Timeframe for Departmental Review Completion

DHA must complete its Review within 10 working days of the receipt of the Fact Finding file, unless DHA determines the file is inadequate.

If the W-2 agency has requested the Departmental Review, the W-2 agency must comply with the Fact Finder’s decision while waiting for DHA to issue its decision.

If the Petitioner withdraws the request for a Departmental Review in writing, the Department must deny the request or refuse to grant relief.
