The household may be reinstated to the original payment amount if an appeal of the decision described in the notice is made within ten days of the date of the notice. 2. A human service zone may terminate assistance if it did not receive a timely review or has received only an incomplete review. The human service zone shall send an adequate notice, mailed to arrive no later than the date it would have made payment if the human service zone had received a timely and complete review. If the household notifies the human service zone and files a complete review within ten days of the date of the notice, the human service zone may accept the replacement review and provide for payment based on the review only if the information indicates that the household is still eligible. If, based on the replacement review, the household is found ineligible or eligible for an amount less than the original payment amount, the human service zone shall promptly notify the household of the right to a fair hearing and, if a hearing is requested within ten days from the date of the notice, the right to have payment reinstated to the original payment . 3.
