(a) Upon receipt by the service agency director of the hearing request form requesting a fair hearing, mediation, or a voluntary informal meeting, the service agency director shall immediately provide adequate notice pursuant to Section 4701 to the claimant, the claimant’s guardian or conservator, parent of a minor, and authorized representative of the claimant’s rights in connection with the fair hearing, mediation, or informal meeting. If an informal meeting is requested by the claimant, the service agency and the claimant shall determine a mutually agreed upon time for the meeting. The service agency shall notify the claimant of the date upon which his or her hearing request form was received by the service agency.
(b) The written notice shall also confirm the mutually agreed upon date, time, and place for a voluntary informal meeting, if desired by the claimant or his or her authorized representative, with the service agency director or the director’s designee. The written notice shall also state that the claimant or his or her authorized representative may decline an informal meeting.
(c) The written notification of rights required pursuant to subdivision (a) shall not be required if the service agency includes written notification of those rights with the notice required by Section 4710.
(Amended by Stats. 2000, Ch. 416, Sec. 6. Effective January 1, 2001.)
