1508 Agency Actions Following Fair Hearing Decisions - The decision of the hearing officer shall be implemented immediately upon receipt (including decisions related to disability) if the decision is favorable to the client and the agency does not intend to request a review by the State Appeals Committee. A report of such action shall be submitted to the Administrative Hearings Section. If the agency requests such a review, the decision shall not be implemented until a final decision by the State Appeals Committee has been rendered. Also, if the decision is unfavorable to the client, the decision shall not be implemented until the 18th day following the date of the mailing of the initial decision to allow the client the opportunity to request a review by the State Appeals Committee. If a request is made within the 18-day period, the decision shall not be implemented.
1508.01 Retroactive Payments - When the hearing decision is favorable to the client, or when the agency decides in favor of the client prior to the hearing, the agency shall promptly make corrective coverage.
1508.02 Recovery of Overpayments - When the hearing decision upholds agency action, any overpayment made during the fair hearing process is subject to recovery, except in situations where the action being appealed is the application of a CSS penalty.
