110 Mass. Reg. 10.32

Current through Register 1523, June 7, 2024

Section 10.32 - Special Provisions for Fee-paying Clients

When a fee-paying Appellant requests a Fair Hearing, the Hearing Officer shall include in the decision an order relative to the recoupment of fees as set forth below:

(1) If the Appellant's challenge to the fee is successful, any extra fees paid shall be refunded within 14 days of the decision.

(2) If the Appellant's challenge to the fee is unsuccessful, the Appellant shall be notified that he or she must pay any fees owed within 14 days of the decision, and that failure to pay such fees shall result in a termination of service without further hearing. 110 CMR 10.32 in no way negates the Appellant's obligation to continue to pay any pre-established fees pending the outcome of the hearing.
