Impartial Hearing Reporting System Help File

An extension is an additional period of time beyond the regulatory timeline (compliance date) of the impartial hearing decision due date. Extensions are granted by the IHO at the request of one or both of the parties. An extension may move the compliance date by a maximum of 30 days into the future.

An expedited case cannot be extended.

The IHO is responsible for entering extensions into the Extension Reporting Application. The data entered by the IHO appears under the Case Extensions section of the Case Maintenance screen. Clicking the link for the Extension Identifier under Case Extensions opens the Case Extensions screen where additional information about the extension may be viewed.
