Problems with Calling for a Fair Hearing
Calling the toll-free telephone number may seem like the easiest method to request a Fair Hearing but there are two serious problems with this approach:
• The Fair Hearing Request Line [1-800-342-3334] is constantly busy.
• Even if your call is answered, there is a long wait to speak to a live person.
