18 Miss. Code. R. 14-14.10 - Fair Hearings
A. Each individual
or household has the right to request a fair hearing to appeal a denial,
reduction, or termination of benefits due to a determination of nonexempt
status, or an agency determination of failure to comply with SNAP work
requirements.
B. The agency
operating the relevant component or service of the E&T program must receive
sufficient advance notice to either permit the attendance of a representative
or ensure that a representative will be available for questioning over the
phone during the hearing. A representative of the appropriate agency must be
available through one of these means.
C. A household must be allowed to examine its
E&T program casefile at a reasonable time before the date of the fair
hearing, except for confidential information (that may include test results)
that the agency determines should be protected from release. Confidential
information not released to a household may not be used by either party at the
hearing.
D. The results of the fair
hearing are binding on the agency.
E. If the participating individual's benefits
are continued pending a fair hearing, the disqualification period must begin
the first of the month after the hearing decision is rendered.
F. If the household elects not to receive
benefits during pendency of the appeal and subsequently wins the hearing, the
agency will restore any benefits the household would have been eligible to
receive during the appeal period.
