Can the action that I'm dissatisfied with be stopped while I'm going through the hearing process?

Yes. Aid Paid Pending (APP) is the suspension of a proposed action until a hearing is held and a decision is rendered by an Administrative Law Judge when either:

  • A hearing request is filed before the effective date of the proposed action.
  • The agency did not provide timely and adequate notice of a proposed action when timely and adequate notice is required.

APP cannot be issued at the end of a CalFresh or County Medical Services Program (CMSP) Certification Period. Also, APP cannot be issued for denied applications.
