## Text

A. Scheduling: The ALJ will assign a date for a HSD administrative hearing that affords the MAD director the opportunity to render his or her HSD administrative hearing final decision within the 90 calendar day time limit. The claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative must agree via a recorded message to the assigned ALJ or in writing to the assigned ALJ to extend the 90 calendar day time limit up to an additional 30 calendar days to provide the necessary time for the HSD administrative hearing to be conducted and a final decision rendered. The ALJ has the authority on a case-by-case basis to extent the 90-calendar day time limit to more than 30-calendar days when the claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative requests such an extension in writing. If an accommodation is necessary for a disability, the claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative must notify FHB at least 10 calendar days prior to the HSD administrative hearing. B. Rescheduling: Any party to a HSD administrative hearing may request, and is entitled to receive, one postponement of a HSD administrative hearing, as long as it does not interfere with the HSD administrative hearing final decision time frames. (1) A request for more than one postponement is at the ALJ’s discretion on a case-by-case basis. 8.354.2 NMAC 5 (2) The claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative must agree to allow the ALJ to extend the 90 calendar day time limit up to an additional 30 calendar days to provide the necessary time for the HSD administrative hearing to be conducted and a final decision rendered. C. Expedited HSD administrative hearing: Any party may request an expedited HSD administrative hearing in cases involving a claimant’s health, safety, or service availability issues. The request must be made in writing to the claimant’s assigned ALJ. The request must state in detail the reasons why an expedited HSD administrative hearing is necessary. The granting of an expedited HSD administrative hearing is at the discretion of the ALJ.
