Section 660-1-5-.06 - Withdrawal And Settlement Of Hearing Requests

(1) Withdrawal. A hearing may not be cancelled without the written consent of the aggrieved person or his representative. The letter of withdrawal may be presented or mailed to either the County or State Department. A verbal statement withdrawing a hearing request will be accepted if the aggrieved person refuses to write a letter of withdrawal. The request for a hearing will be considered to be withdrawn as of the postmark date on the letter, the date the aggrieved person or his representative presents the withdrawal statement to the County or State Department, or the date the aggrieved person states his wishes to withdraw his request for a hearing. Under programs administered by the Family Assistance Division, for example, the Food Stamp Program and Programs funded by Title IV-A, oral withdrawals of hearing requests are allowed if confirmed in writing by the Department.

(2) Settlement. A hearing request may be resolved by stipulation, settlement, consent default, or other agreement in writing. The agreement must be filed with the hearing officer and made a part of the hearing record.
