• |
A statement of the reasons for the decision. |
• |
A statement advising the person of his or her right to appeal the decision by requesting, in writing, a Fair Hearing. |
• |
A form on which the person may request a Fair Hearing. |
• |
A statement advising the person of the time limits which must be met in order to receive a Fair Hearing. |
The person will have five days from the mailing date of the notice of the decision to return the form requesting a hearing (RSA 165:1-b (III).)
