The Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) Bulletin Board is currently operational and ready to be utilized by Upstate local district staff. As explained previously by Terri Caouette from OAH, this bulletin board was established to automate the process of sending messages and transmittals to local district staff. The bulletin board, referred to as "FH
Transmits" is part of the New York State Department of Social Services' Office Automation System (OFIS Link Office System).
In order to access the FH Transmits Bulletin Board, local district staff must have a user ID number, access to the Office Automation System and have been granted access by our office. In most cases, the local district fair hearings liaison has been designated to receive these messages. Any future changes in who should have access to the Bulletin Board should be reported to Terri Caouette at (518) 474-5854.
Effective immediately, OAH Transmittals should be retrieved by local district staff electronically through the Bulletin Board as they will no longer be mailed. Local Districts that do not have Office Automation System capabilities or where the liaison does not have access to the System will continue to receive OAH Transmittals via first class mail until such time as access is available.
