Purpose

To notify a participant about

  • reduction in services or units,
  • termination of services, and
  • his/her right to a fair hearing or conference.

When to Prepare

The case manager completes Form 3624 to notify a CLASS participant of a reduction, denial, or termination of one or more benefits and/or services, and documents the reason for the action. Form 3624 is not used if benefits are being terminated because the participant died.

Number of Copies

The case manager completes an original and two copies of Form 3624.

Transmittal

The original is sent to the participant, one copy is filed by the case manager in the participant's case folder, and one copy is sent to the direct services agency.

If the participant appeals the adverse action, the case manager forwards a copy of Form 3624 together with Form 4800, Petition for Fair Hearing, and other case folder participant material to the appropriate HHSC regional Hearing Officer.

Form Retention

The case manager and the direct services agency keep Form 3624 according to the terms of the CLASS Provider Manual.

Detailed Instructions

If the participant requests a fair hearing within 12 days of the date form 3624 is completed, the participant continues to receive services until a hearing officer issues a decision. The participant's right to appeal ends 90 days from the date Form 3624 is completed. (See Form 3624, page 2.)
