117-7          POSTPONEMENTS

The client or client representative may request a postponement of a fair hearing date and time by directly contacting the Office of Administrative Hearings. Once the request is received by the Office of Administrative Hearings, a decision of approval or denial will be issued by the assigned administrative law judge. Once the decision is rendered, the Office of Administrative Hearings will notify both the client and the agency of its decision by written notice. If the request is approved, the notice will identify the new hearing date and time.
