HAR §17-602.1-45. 602

1-35 (b) A hearing and an administrative disqualification hearing may be combined into a single hearing if the factual issues arise out of the same, or related circumstances and the household receives prior notice that the hearings will be combined. If the hearing and administrative disqualification hearing are combined, the timeliness standards for conducting administrative disqualification hearings shall be followed. (1) If the hearings are combined for the purpose of settling the amount of the claim at the same time as determining whether or not intentional program violation has occurred, the household shall lose its right to a subsequent hearing on the amount of the claim. (2) The department, upon request of the household, shall allow the household to waive the thirty day advance notice period required for disqualification hearings when the disqualification hearing and hearing are combined. (c) If a hearing is requested by a household because of a reduction or termination of both financial assistance payment and food stamp benefit, the hearing shall be conducted according to the financial assistance procedures and timeliness standards.
