  2. Submit the written administrative-hearing request through the controlling route and preserve proof.
  3. Ask immediately whether timely filing may continue an existing service and request the case record.

Limits

The current general guide states a 30-day appeal period and a 10-day continuation window, but the notice controls and this guide is not legal advice.

Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
