Documents : Digest of Fair Hearing Decisions (9/28/09)

Reversal of Agency Determinations Due to Defective Notices (2/8/15)

State policy requires that the threshold issue to be considered at every Fair Hearing is the adequacy of the notice that the appellant received. See http://onlineresources.wnylc.net/FairHearingResources/showquestion.asp?faq=4&fldAuto=93; http://onlineresources.wnylc.net/FairHearingResources/showquestion.asp?faq=4&fldAuto=94.

The following Fair Hearing Decisions (and Decisions without Hearings) have reversed determinations based solely on the inadequacy of the agency's notices. All of these decisions are or will soon be available from the Online Resource Center's Fair Hearing Bank.

Access to the Fair Hearing Bank requires registration [http://onlineresources.wnylc.net/register.asp?index=Register] and log in at: http://onlineresources.wnylc.net/welcome.asp.
