Informal Hearing Procedures 1Votice to the Family [24 CFR 982.555(c)] When SARA makes a decision that is subject to informal hearing procedures, SARA will inform the family of its right to an informal hearing at the same time that it informs the family of the decision. For decisions related to the family's annual or adjusted income, the determination of the appropriate utility allowance, and the determination of the family unit size, SARA will notify the family that they may ask for an explanation of the basis of the determination, and that if they do not agree with the decision, they may request an informal hearing on the decision. For decisions related to the termination of the family's assistance, or the denial of a family's request for an exception to SAHA's subsidy standards, the notice must contain a brief statement of the reasons for the decision, a statement that if the family does not agree with the decision, the family may request an informal hearing on the decision, and a statement of the deadline for the family to request an informal hearing. o~ro2~12 Page 16-9
