793-3          ADMINISTRATIVE DISQUALIFICATION HEARING

An individual accused of an intentional program violation has the right to an Administrative Disqualification Hearing.  A Hearing Officer conducts the Administrative Disqualification Hearing.  After hearing the facts of the case and examining the evidence, the Hearing Officer will decide if the individual committed an intentional program violation.  The Hearing Officer will notify the individual and the Fraud Control Unit of his or her decision.

An individual may not request a fair hearing on an adverse IPVIntentional Program Violation Administrative Disqualification Hearing decision.  Clients may only appeal an adverse IPVIntentional Program Violation hearing decision in a court of law.

An individual may waive his or her right to an Administrative Disqualification Hearing by signing a waiver.  The signed waiver carries the same consequences as being found guilty of an intentional program violation in a disqualification hearing.
