Fair Hearings
When Can I Request a Fair Hearing? In most cases, the Department of Social Services (DSS) does something you do not agree with, you have the right to request a fair hearing. Requesting a fair hearing allows you to challenge the decision and explain why you disagree to an administrative law judge or hearing officer. For example, you might ask for a fair hearing if your application is denied or if your benefits are being cut off. You might also ask for a hearing if the amount of benefits you receive is being decreased.
