William Foppert, Director
The Office of Fair Hearings (OFH) provides administrative hearings consistent with state (NMAC) and federal regulations (CFR). The OFH registers appeals of adverse actions across all public assistance categories as well as Child Support enforcement actions, Managed Care Organization actions, certain actions involving nursing home care as well as certain administrative actions concerning providers. Hearings are conducted by an Administrative Law Judge and typically held telephonically. After most hearings, a Recommendation will be submitted to the appropriate Division Director who will issue the Final Decision (the OFH issues a Final Decision for BeWellNM and Child Support enforcement appeals as well as Administrative Disqualification Hearings).
