New Hampshire Employment Program (NHEP) and Food Stamp Program participants may also receive services from staff co-located at one of the 12 One Stop Training and Employment Centers managed by NH Employment Security. 

 

Some Medicaid assistance may also be accessed through health clinics, hospitals and the NH Healthy Kids Corporation.

 
2.  What should I do if I disagree with a decision made by Division of Family Assistance?Back to top

You may request an Administrative Appeal hearing, if you disagree with any decision made in your case.  An Administrative Appeal allows you to have your case heard before an impartial person (a hearings officer) who will decide the outcome.   At the hearing, you can explain to a hearings officer why you disagree with the action taken. You should request a hearing as quickly as possible to protect your rights.  The Administrative Appeals brochure explains more about the Administrative Appeals process.
