A hearing appeal status history is maintained for a hearing appeal case throughout its lifecycle. This provides information on the stages a hearing appeal goes through.
The following table describes the hearing appeal case statuses in full:
Status |
Description |
|---|---|
| Open | A hearing appeal status is "open" when the hearing appeal case is first created on the system. Rejecting and reopening a hearing appeal will cause its status to revert to "open". |
| Active | A hearing appeal case status is "active" when a hearing has been scheduled for the appeal. |
| Canceled | A hearing appeal case status is "canceled" if the hearing appeal case is canceled. |
| Approved | A hearing appeal case status is "approved" when the hearing appeal case is approved by an authorized user. |
| Delayed Process Pending | A hearing appeal case status is "delayed process pending" when the system is executing an online process. Delayed processing allows work to continue without having to wait for online processing to complete. |
| Closed | A hearing appeal case is "closed" when a decision on the hearing appeal case has been approved or rejected. The system automatically closes the hearing appeal case and sends a task instructing the owner of the original item under appeal to implement the decision. |
