The Illinois Notice of Right to Appeal is a form issued by the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) to inform applicants of their right to appeal a decision made by the agency concerning their application for public benefits. This notice informs applicants of their rights to request a hearing, and the procedures for appealing a decision. The Illinois Notice of Right to Appeal is provided to applicants who have had their applications for public benefits denied, or who have had their eligibility for public benefits reduced or terminated. The two types of Illinois Notice of Right to Appeal are the Notice of Right to Appeal for Cash Assistance and the Notice of Right to Appeal for Medical Assistance. The Notice of Right to Appeal for Cash Assistance is given to applicants who have applied for the cash assistance programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANK), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA). The Notice of Right to Appeal for Medical Assistance is given to applicants who have applied for the medical assistance programs such as Medicaid, All Kids, or CHIP. Both forms of the Illinois Notice of Right to Appeal provide applicants with information on how to request a hearing to appeal the decision, the time limit for filing an appeal, and the contact information and physical address of the DHS Office of Hearings and Appeals.
