DHHS has created an email account for employee questions regarding DHHS work and operations during the COVID-19 response. Questions that are submitted will be monitored and used to create FAQ documents that will then be shared with all DHHS employees. We will not be responding to individual submissions: EmployeeQuestions.DHHS@maine.gov

If you disagree with a Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS) decision to grant, deny, or otherwise change a benefit, license, an amount owed, or some other decision affecting you, then you have a right to a hearing. Most DHHS hearings are held by the Division of Administrative Hearings. Sometimes hearings are held before another agency.
When you have a hearing, it is our goal to make sure that the hearing process is meaningful and fair. We want to make sure that it gives an opportunity to each party to present their side of the story.
The Division of Administrative Hearings provides administrative hearings to citizens and clients who are aggrieved by actions or inactions of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. Hearings are conducted on a variety of matters including, but not limited to, child support, medical eligibility determinations, eligibility for Food Supplement, MaineCare, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Emergency Assistance, ASPIRE, General Assistance and licensing matters.
