[header] How to request a fair hearing [title] Read your notice carefully. [step] If your application for benefits is denied, or if the benefits you already get are going to be stopped or suspended, you'll be sent a notice alerting you to this fact. [substeps] The notice must be sent at least 10 days before the action will take effect. 
You have 90 days from the date on the notice to request a fair hearing. However, if you were previously receiving benefits and received notice that those benefits are being terminated or suspended, it is in your best interest to request a hearing as quickly as possible.
