The DHS representative is responsible for presenting the department's case in the administrative disqualification hearing. The DHS representative may choose to present the case in person or by the use of teleconference equipment. If either the hearing officer or the household member requests, the DHS representative must attend the hearing in person. Such a request, however, must be made 10 days before the hearing.
