LAC 67:III.325. Dismissal of a Request for a Fair Hearing

A. A fair hearing request which is accepted by the DCFS Appeals Unit may be disposed of without a hearing and without a decision only when: 1. the request for a fair hearing is withdrawn; or 2. the claimant abandons his request for a hearing. If the claimant or his authorized agent fails to appear for a hearing and has made no contact with the department or the DCFS Appeals Unit, the request for a fair hearing will be considered abandoned. If he later requests to reschedule, the request will be evaluated for good cause; 3. the issue is settled in the claimant’s favor by the department.
