This performance measure is important because by resolving appeals prior to going to formal hearing we are providing Vermonters expeditious and favorable resolution to their eligibility appeals wherever possible, as well as saving state resources by not having to go through the formal Fair Hearing process before the Human Services Board.
This metric tracks the percentage of eligibility appeal requests received during a month that are resolved prior to a formal fair hearing. Because internal resolution may take longer than one month, the data points for previous months may be updated retrospectively.
