After you submit a request for a fair hearing, DVR offers you a prehearing meeting. The prehearing meeting may be conducted in person, by telephone, or by another method agreeable to all parties. The purpose of the prehearing meeting is to:

(1) Clarify the decision with which you disagree;

(2) Exchange copies of laws, rules, or other information to be presented in the fair hearing;

(3) Explain how the fair hearing is conducted; and

(4) Settle the disagreement, if possible.
