Question: |
At a pre-termination
hearing, if the participant chooses to bring a representative, does
the participant have to sign a release of confidentiality before
the GCM can discuss the issue?
|
| |
Answer: |
No release of confidentiality
is needed if the participant is present at the hearing. Should
a representative take the place of the participant, the release
would have to be obtained from the participant prior to the hearing.

Question: |
If more than one participant arrives
at the district office (instead of the GROW site) at the end of
the day for a pre-termination hearing, can the hearings be rescheduled
with the Case Manager? Are Employment Specialists expected to
interview all participants by the end of the same day?
|
| |
Answer: |
If participants arrive in the district
office to resolve a hearing issue, every effort should be made
to interview them on the same day. If unusual circumstances occur
which prevent the Employment Specialist from interviewing a participant,
the hearing can be rescheduled with the Case Manager.
