“Increasingly, DPA is failing to meet this deadline, seemingly because of short-staffing,” she wrote in an email. “Our clients are being denied their fair hearing rights while their cases languish in DPA’s backlog.” “Most hearing requests are being submitted due to the delay in receiving benefits due to the backlog,” she said in an email. “As the number of backlogged applications is reduced, the numbers of fair hearings are also trending down, however, the overall number of fair hearings requests remains elevated compared to the numbers filed prior to the backlog.”
