SAHA Policy <br /> <br />After a request for an accommodation is presented, the Reasonable Accommodation <br />Committee will respond, in writing, within 14 days. <br />If the request is denied for an accommodation because it is not reasonable (it would <br />impose an undue financial and administrative burden or fundamentally alter the nature of <br />SAHA), SAHA will discuss with the family whether an alternative <br />accommodation could effectivel-related needs without a <br />fundamental alteration to the HCV program and without imposing an undue financial and <br />administrative burden. <br />If SAHA believes that the family has failed to identify a reasonable alternative <br />accommodation after interactive discussion and negotiation, SAHA will notify the <br />family, in writing, of its determination within 14 days from the date of the most recent <br />discussion or communication with the family. <br />2-II.F.
