If the ALJ's decision did not affirm the initial Department determination, the Board will accept a timely appeal from that decision if filed by an interested party. If the decision of the ALJ affirmed the initial Department determination, the Board has the discretion to refuse to accept the appeal or request a review of the record by an individual designated by the Board. If the Board refuses to accept the appeal or requests a review of the record as provided in statute, the Board will issue a written decision declining the appeal and containing appeal rights.
