Is a recipient of a disability benefit entitled to a hearing to appeal the action?

Federal regulations also mandate that aggrieved recipients, dissatisfied with the agency action, be provided the right to a hearing to be conducted under the due process standards enunciated in Goldberg v. Kelly (1970) 397 U.S. 254, 90 S.Ct. 1011, 25 L.Ed.2d 287 (see 45 C.F.R., 205.10(a)(1)). Such regulations further provide the claimant shall be given a reasonable time, not to exceed 90 days, in which to appeal the agency action. (See 45 C.F.R., 205.5(a)(5)(iii).)
