Rule 23-100-5.7 - Hearing Requests Made In PersonA. The client may come to the regional office or meet with a specialist in person to request a hearing. The specialist must first determine what level of hearing, local or state, is desired.B. If a state level hearing is required because the hearing request is based on a medical decision, this will be explained to the client. Otherwise, if the client is unsure of the type hearing desired, the specialist will explain the difference between the two levels of appeal and explain a state hearing may still be available if the local hearing decision is not favorable. The specialist will assist the client in completing the appropriate form, DOM-350 or DOM 352, whichever is applicable. If a state hearing is required or requested, the specialist can assist in mailing the request to state office or the client may choose to mail it himself.23 Miss. Code. R. 100-5.7
