score is appropriate, an Update POC/CCB must be submitted at the correct allocation level so that a Notice of Action
(NOA) with appeal rights may be generated by BDDS and distributed to the participant through the waiver Case
Manager.
An individual who is dissatisfied with the PAR unit’s determination may appeal the NOA within 33 calendar days of
the date of the notice. During the appeal, BDDS shall maintain the budget from the last agreed-upon budget
allocation.
Note: PAR reviews are not available under the Family Supports Waiver.
The appeal process is explained on the back pages of the NOA as is seen on the following page, Your
Appeal Right as an Applicant for HCBS Benefits.
Note: On receiving an official notice of appeal, the budget is locked by the PAR unit. Please carefully read “The Right
to Appeal and Have a Fair Hearing.” If your benefits are continued during the appeal process and you lose the
appeal, you may be at risk of being required to repay assistance paid in your behalf during the appeal process.
