OAR 813-245-0090: Temporary rule language in effect until 01/27/2027. Challenge of Grantee Action

(1) Any household aggrieved by a grantee administering or providing LTRA services may challenge the grantee’s action by entering the grantee’s administrative review process (see OAR 813-245-0100). Any household who received either an unsatisfactory determination or refusal of an administrative review by the grantee may submit a written request to OHCS within 30 days of receiving the notice of review determination or refusal by the grantee to provide such administrative review. (2) OHCS may accept or deny a request to conduct a grantee administrative review, in whole or in part, at its sole discretion. An OHCS review will be conducted in the manner determined appropriate by OHCS and may include, but is not limited to, review of provided information. (3) If OHCS accepts the review request, the requesting household, the grantee, and any relevant subrecipients must produce all information required by OHCS, including requested affidavits or testimony. (4) Upon accepting the review request, OHCS will make a determination on such review request and require such remedial action as OHCS determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate. (5) When OHCS accepts a household’s request for administrative review, the review shall be conducted as a contested case under the procedures of ORS Chapter 183.
