If you disagree with a Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS) decision to grant, deny, or otherwise change a benefit, license, an amount owed, or some other decision affecting you, then you have a right to a hearing. Most DHHS hearings are held by the Division of Administrative Hearings. Sometimes hearings are held before another agency.
When you have a hearing, it is our goal to make sure that the hearing process is meaningful and fair. We want to make sure that it gives an opportunity to each party to present their side of the story.
