Department of Human Services duties transferred to the Office of Administrative Hearings provision

SF 2575 transfers specific administrative hearing duties related to human services benefits from the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) to the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). This bill amends statutes to move the handling of eligibility disputes (such as for food assistance or Medicaid) from DHS staff to OAH judges, who will now conduct these hearings. The change affects individuals appealing benefit determinations, shifting the process to an independent agency while repealing existing DHS responsibilities in the relevant statutes.
