(This Policy Directive Replaces PD #00-79) This policy directive has been revised to inform NPA FS Office staff of the following: • A Policy section outlining the NPA FS Office responsibilities for Fair Hearing (FH) resolution and packet preparation has been added. • Information regarding the previous involvement of the NPA FS Central Compliance Unit in the FH resolution and packet preparation process has been removed. • The Notice to Report to Job Center/NPA Food Stamp Office (M-3g) should be used when contacting an applicant/participant by mail to schedule a meeting to resolve the FH issue prior to the FH. • The Withdrawal of Fair Hearing Request form (M-186dd) has been obsoleted as staff should not require the applicant/participant to sign the M-186dd if the FH issue is resolved prior to the FH. Staff should now ask the applicant/participant to withdraw his/her FH request by calling the Office of Administrative Hearing (OAH) or signing the Schedule of Fair Hearing (OAH-457) and mailing it to OAH.
