Hearings - Additional Information

Please see below for additional information regarding filing appeals with the Departments Hearings Bureau

Appeals or petitions may be filed by mailing or delivering them to the Department.
Faxed or emailed appeals or petitions are not considered properly filed.
If not filed within the 60-Day appeal period, the appeal or petition would be considered untimely and not under the Hearing Officer's jurisdiction.
If the Department sends a response to the appeal or petition that states the appeal or petition was not timely filed, you have the opportunity to send proof that you did timely file it within 30 days.
If there is confusion surrounding whether or not the appeal or petition was filed timely, the Hearing Officer may set a hearing date to hear arguments purely on whether the appeal or petition was timely filed and make a determination on whether or not it was timely filed.
If the Hearing Officer determines the appeal or petition was timely filed, a date would be set for another hearing to hear facts of the appeal or petition and a ruling would be made regarding the appeal or petition after that hearing.
