Hearing Decision Implementation - Case Remanded
The hearing office may remand the case to FAA for corrections. When this occurs, take action to comply with the
Office of Appeals request within ten
calendar days(g).
Review the instructions provided by the Hearing Officer or designated FAA Representative and ensure appropriate actions are taken to correct the eligibility determination.
Send the appellant a new determination letter which gives them the right to appeal when they disagree with the new determination.
When the participant receives a notice of discontinuance and files a appeal before the effective date of closure, they are eligible for continued benefits.
When the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) remands the issue back to FAA for a new determination, the participant has the option to file an appeal on the new decision. When the participant files an appeal on the new decision, the participant is entitled to request continued benefits under the new timeframe.
NOTE Decisions that are remanded by the ALJ are not subject to a
petition for review(g) by the Appeals Unit (APU) or the Overpayment Unit.
