When you have been denied Medicaid or had your Medicaid Benefits lowered or terminated, you can ask for a fair hearing. You can fill out a fair hearing request letter and mail it or deliver it to your local Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) office to begin the process. When DFCS gets your letter asking for a fair hearing, they use this form to process your appeal with the Office of State Administrative Hearings (OSAH). You can give DFCS this form and ask them to fill it out and send it to OSAH and to the Department of Human Resources Legal Services to process your appeal.

Information Not Legal Advice

LegalAid-GA.org provides general information only. This is not legal advice and cannot replace legal advice. You can get legal advice only from a lawyer.  Deadlines are extremely important in most legal matters. You may lose important legal rights if you do not hire an attorney immediately to advise you. Viewing this web site or sending an e-mail message through this web site does NOT create an attorney-client relationship.
