SNAP, cash, Medicaid appeals go to department

For appeals filed on or after the date the law took effect, you must ask the department for a fair hearing on SNAP (food stamps), cash, nonfinancial help, or Medicaid. The department must send prompt notice and give you a fair hearing. It can also review local office decisions on its own, look at delayed applications, and decide eligibility and benefit amounts. The Board of Public Assistance stays only to finish appeals filed by the law’s effective date and ends October 1, 2025.
