Kan. Admin. Regs. § 30-7-66 - Continuation of assistance

(a) If the recipient requests a hearing within the timely notice period as required by K.A.R. 30-7-65, assistance shall not be suspended, reduced, discontinued, or terminated, (but is subject to recovery by the agency if its action is sustained), until an initial decision of the hearing officer is rendered in the matter, unless:

(1) The request for fair hearing concerns the suspension of program payments to a provider or the termination of a provider from program participation;

(2) the request for a fair hearing concerns a discontinued program or service;

(3) a determination is made by the hearing officer that the sole issue is one of federal or state law, regulation or policy, or change in federal or state law, regulation or policy and not one of incorrect grant computation; or

(4) a change affecting the recipient's assistance occurs while the hearing decision is pending and the recipient fails to request a hearing after notice of the change.

(b) The agency shall promptly inform the recipient in writing if assistance is to be discontinued pending the hearing decision.

(c) In any case where action was taken without timely notice, if the recipient requests a hearing within 10 days of the mailing of the notice of the action, and the agency determines that the action resulted from other than the application of federal or state law or policy or a change in federal or state law, assistance shall be reinstated and continued until a decision is rendered in the matter except as set forth in (a)(1), (2), (3), or (4). The effective date of this regulation shall be July 1, 1989.
