State of Wisconsin Release 09-02 June 26, 2009 |
If the food unit disagrees with an agency action or the amount of FoodShare benefits, they may request a fair hearing. See the Income Mainenance Manual Ch. 1.2 Fair Hearings.
A fair hearing must be requested within 90 days of the notice of decision if the food unit is contesting a specific agency action that impacted their FS FoodShare benefits.
A fair hearing may be requested at any time within a certification period if a food unit disagrees with their current amount of FS benefits.
Food units appealing an agency decision by requesting a fair hearing must do so prior to the effective date of the change or termination in order to have their benefits continued at the previous level while the hearing is pending.
While the fair hearing is pending, issue the FS FoodShare group the lost benefits as determined by the agency. Issue FS based on the fair hearing decision, even if the benefits are undeliverable and returned to inventory. Do not require another fair hearing (when the fair hearing decision was made within the last 12 months) or any other administrative action before you restore lost benefits.
