Appeals
About Us
A Benefits Recipient has several options to dispute actions regarding their benefits. Overpayment claims can also be disputed. As a recipient, please review your benefit letters, which provide specific appeal rights and instructions.
Local-Level Dispute Resolution
If you are interested in a local-level dispute resolution conference (these are referred to as informal meetings on benefit letters) the Appeals and Hearings Unit helps to provide you, as a benefits recipient, the opportunity to dispute an eligibility determination.
During the appeal process, the County Hearing Officer also works to ensure an applicant or client/participant household understands applicable State Department's Rules related to their benefits dispute.
State-Level Fair Hearing
A Benefits Recipient may also choose to bypass the local-level dispute meeting and appeal directly to the Office of Administrative Courts for a State-Level Fair Hearing. These hearings are conducted on a formal basis with an Administrative Law Judge. To find out more about the State Level Fair Hearing process, please visit the Office of Administrative Courts website https://oac.colorado.gov/ for more information. State Appeal Form
