Section 672
Section 672.515  Vendor
Rights Regarding Notice and Appeal
a)         Prior
Warning
The Department
is not required to provide the Vendor with prior warning that violations were
occurring before initiating the process of repudiating the Vendor Contract
pursuant to Section 672.520.
b)         Advance
Notification
1)         The Department may take adverse action against a Vendor after
providing 15-day advance notification, except that permanent disqualifications
under Section 672.505(a) will be effective on the date of receipt of notice of
the administrative action.
2)         The written notification shall state the cause for the
administrative action, its effective date, and the procedures to file for an
appeal of the action.
3)         The written notification will be signed by the Secretary of
the Department or designee. The Secretary's decision stated in the written
notification may only be reversed by a subsequent decision or order by the
Secretary or designee pursuant to a hearing or settlement agreement.
4)         The appeal of an appealable action as set forth in subsection (c)
does not delay the sanction, the date of disqualification or date of
termination of the Vendor Contract except that, upon showing of good cause, the
Vendor may be allowed to continue operating during the pending appeal for no
more than 90 days from the date of request of an appeal, or until the
expiration of the WIC Vendor Contract, whichever comes first.  Good cause may
be established by presenting compelling evidence that irreparable harm to the
vendor would outweigh the potential harm to the public and that violations of
this Part would not occur during continued operation.
c)         Appealable
Actions
The Vendor may
appeal the Department decision to disqualify or otherwise sanction a Vendor
during the course of its Vendor Contract with the Department, or to deny a
Vendor's application
pelling evidence that irreparable harm to the
vendor would outweigh the potential harm to the public and that violations of
this Part would not occur during continued operation.
c)         Appealable
Actions
The Vendor may
appeal the Department decision to disqualify or otherwise sanction a Vendor
during the course of its Vendor Contract with the Department, or to deny a
Vendor's application.  The following are not appealable by way of the
administrative hearing procedures set forth in Section 672.600 and the Vendor
has no right to a hearing regarding:
1)         expiration of a Vendor Contract;
2)         the Department's determinations regarding Participant access;
3)         disqualification of a Vendor as a result of disqualification
from SNAP ; or
4)         receipt of an administrative warning.
