The Notice of Proposed Action (NOPA) describing the change in services will provide you information on how to appeal. If your appeal is postmarked or received by the Regional Center within 10 days of the NOPA, you are entitled to “aid paid pending,” meaning that the Regional Center must continue to fund or provide the disputed service(s) while the appeal is pending. (Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 4715(a).)
If you wait until after the 10-day window, you can still appeal — but the Regional Center is not legally required to continue providing the disputed service(s). Even if you plan to hire legal counsel, don’t sit on your rights while you search for the right attorney!
