Filing a Public Assistance and Training Service Appeal

You have the right to a hearing before an impartial administrative law judge if the Department of Workforce Services or Department of Health has taken any action with which you disagree.

How to request a hearing:

For hearings that concern Food Stamps, Financial Assistance, Childcare, General Assistance, Medical Assistance, Training Services, or any other public assistance program administered by the Department of Workforce Services, you can complete a Hearing Rights and Request for Hearing form and then mail the form to: Department of Workforce Services, Division of Adjudication, PO Box 45244, Salt Lake City, UT 84145-0244; or deliver it to the Appeals Office at 140 E 300 S, 2nd floor, Salt Lake City, UT; or to your local Department of Workforce Services office.

You may also make a verbal request for hearing by calling 801-526-9300 or 877-800-0671.

Legal Assistance or Other Help:

You have the right to bring an attorney or any other person to the hearing. You may also be entitled to free legal assistance from Utah Legal Services.
