AID PENDING

Title 22, CCR §50953 provides that hearings are to be conducted in accordance with Division 22 of the Manual of Policies and Procedures (MPP). MPP §22-073.11 states that if a claimant has filed a timely request for hearing, the county must issue aid paid pending within five working days of the receipt of the hearing request by the appropriate agency. MPP §22-001(c)(4) makes clear that the CDHS as well as counties must issue aid paid pending in accordance with MPP §22-073.11.

The CDSS and CDHS have been working together to make sure that CDHS issues aid paid pending to claimants in Ramos hearings. If a judge needs to make an aid pending order in a Ramos case, either to order or discontinue aid pending, the judge should send the aid pending order to Ramos Hearings c/o Carol Davis at Mail Station 19-36. Carol will be responsible for forwarding any aid pending order to CDHS.
