(1) An individual who is denied a CPI under WAC 110-05-0025 has the right to request an administrative hearing under chapters 34.05 RCW and 110-03 WAC.

(2) A request for hearing under chapter 34.05 RCW must be filed with the OAH, as defined in WAC 110-03-0020, within forty-five calendar days of the date the department placed the agency review determination in the mail addressed to the individual.

(3) The failure to timely request an administrative hearing results in the loss of any right to a hearing or further challenges to the CPI denial.

(4) The request for administrative hearing filed with the OAH must include a copy of the review determination notice. OAH will conduct an administrative hearing and issue an initial order.

(5) An individual who disagrees with the initial order issued by OAH may appeal it to the DCYF board of appeals as provided in WAC 110-03-0520 through 110-03-0580. If an appeal is not filed on or before the twenty-first calendar day after the initial order is served on the individual, the initial order issued by OAH becomes the final order.
