Iowa Admin. Code r. 441-7.17 - [Effective 3/26/2025] Continuation and reinstatement of benefits

(1) Programs for which no federal or state law applies. For all assistance programs for which there is no contravening federal or state law, benefits or services shall not be suspended, reduced, restricted, or discontinued, nor shall a license, registration, certification, approval, or accreditation be revoked or other adverse action taken pending a final decision when:
a. An appeal is filed before the effective date of the intended action; or
b. The appellant requests a hearing within ten days of receipt of a notice to suspend, reduce, restrict, or discontinue benefits or services. The date on which the notice is received is considered to be five days after the date on the notice unless the appellant shows the notice was not received within the five-day period.
(2) Sole issue is state or federal law or policy. Benefits or services continued pursuant to subrule 7.17(1) may be suspended, reduced, restricted, or discontinued if the presiding officer determines at the contested case hearing that the sole issue is one of state or federal law or policy and the department has notified the enrollee in writing that services are to be suspended, reduced, restricted, or discontinued pending the proposed decision.
(3) Recoup cost of services or benefits. The department or managed care organization may recoup the cost of benefits or services provided pursuant to this chapter if the adverse action appealed from is affirmed, consistent with state and federal law.
