FSSA Appeals in Indiana

What are appealable actions? Listed below are some examples of appealable issues:

• The amount of your TANF or Food Stamp (SNAP) benefit.
• The effective date of Medicaid coverage.
• The amount of your Medicaid spend-down or patient liability to be paid to a health care facility
• A delay by the Division of Family Resources in making an adjustment in the amount of your benefits.
• A decision that benefits have been paid in error and must be repaid.

You may represent yourself at the hearing or you may authorize someone else to represent you such as a lawyer, friend, relative, or any other person. If you want a lawyer but cannot afford one, Indiana Legal Services may be able to help. Their website is https://www.indianalegalservices.org/. Their phone number is (317) 631-9410. If you choose to represent yourself at the hearing, you might find it helpful to write down your reasons for appealing so that you will remember to cover all of the points you wish to raise. It is important to read all the instructions provided carefully.
