Beginning with calendars dated August 2, 2010, in order to more efficiently schedule hearings requested against Monroe County Department of Social Services (MCDSS) and thereby reduce the scheduling backlog, Fair Hearing calendars will be scheduled utilizing a series of new subcategories, based on the following criteria:
MON1 = Temporary Assistance Eligibility/Intake Issues
MON2 = Employable TA clients-All issues including Employment-related issues, Recertifications, Child Care
MON3 = Temporary Assistance-Substance abuse rehabilitation issues, Disability determinations, Recertifications
MON4 = Community Medicaid-All issues and associated Non-Public Assistance (NPA) Food Stamps
MON5 = Chronic Care, MA/SSI, MA Disabled/Spenddown cases and associated NPA Food Stamps, Home Care cases
The Office of Administrative Hearing (OAH) Scheduling Unit will schedule an entire calendar composed of hearings with the same subcategory.
Fair Hearings involving issues not indicated above, such as those scheduled against offices of the Department of Health, will be integrated into the calendars by the Scheduling Unit supervisor.
