After a decision is rendered by the executive director or the executive director's designee, the appeals supervisor shall mail a copy to the claimant and the human service zone, nursing facility, or division of the department that made the determination under appeal. The notice of decision must also contain a statement explaining the right to request a rehearing or reconsideration unless the decision is itself a decision on rehearing or reconsideration. 2. The notice may be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, by certified mail, or by regular mail. If notice is given by certified mail without return receipt or by regular mail, an affidavit of mailing indicating to whom the order was mailed must be prepared.
