106 Mass. Reg. 366.220

Current through Register 1523, June 7, 2024
Section 366.220 - Continuation of Benefits Pending the Fair Hearing Decision

If, within the advance notice period, a household requests a fair hearing and does not waive continuation of benefits, the household's participation in the program shall be continued at the level authorized immediately prior to the Notice of Adverse Action. Benefits will continue until the Fair Hearing Decision is issued or the certification period expires, whichever occurs first. If a hearing request is not made within the advance period, the benefits shall be reduced or terminated as proposed. However, if the household establishes that its failure to make the request within the advance notice period was for good cause, the Department shall reinstate benefits to the prior level.
