In Nebraska, the Director of our DD Services serves as the hearing officer when people file grievances or disputes about decisions made by their office regarding eligibility, service amounts, etc. A question has arisen about the need to
have an impartial hearing officer at the agency level. Could you tell me who in your state hears these complaints or grievances – an employee of the agency or an impartial hearing officer? Thanks.
