§50920. Appeal to Be Filed with Service Agency.
 
The portion of the adequate notice describing the fair hearing appeal procedure shall emphasize the requirement of filing a request for fair hearing with the service agency, and shall explain to the applicant, recipient, and authorized representative, if any, that the service agency will forward the request to the responsible state agency. The requirement of subsection (e) of Section 4701 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to give notice of the name and address of the responsible state agency with whom an appeal may be filed is intended solely to require the provision of information to the applicant, recipient, or authorized representative, and does not supplant the procedure described in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 4710.9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
