Before the Hearing
Both you and the DOR will receive a notice of hearing, which identifies the time and place of the hearing. The notice of hearing will define the issue, and contain instructions for you and the DOR. Both you and the DOR will bring three (3) copies of a written summary of the issue(s) and any supporting evidence to the hearing.
If you choose to have a CAP advocate or other representative of your choice at the hearing, send the signed "Authorized Representative" form to the Mediation and Fair Hearing Office at least five days before the scheduled hearing, or bring the completed Authorized Representative form to the hearing.
