MARY BETH HINES vs. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES, 81-001979 (1981)

Findings Of Fact Petitioner Mary Beth Hines requested a formal hearing after the required informal conference with a supervisor employed by Respondent Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. On June 17, 1981 Hines, a white female who lives alone, filed a Household Application for low income energy assistance with the required Medical Certification for Cooling. By Notice of Application Denial dated July 9, 1981 Petitioner was informed that she was denied assistance for the reason that she failed to furnish income verification within ten (10) days as requested by Respondent on June 22, 1981. Petitioner Hines suffers from a heart condition which has left her almost immobile and which renders her hearing deficient and her speech difficult to understand. She requires the services of a homemaker provided through the county homemaker service and, because of low income, receives food stamps. Respondent Department can and, in most cases heard by this Hearing Officer, has verified income through the easily accessible computerized lists of food stamp recipients. Respondent failed to verify Petitioner's income through the food stamp lists but made a written request for Petitioner to verify her income. Petitioner failed to reply to the request and was denied benefits within fifteen (15) days of the request. Verification showing Petitioner is eligible for benefits was furnished before July 31, 1981, as shown by Respondent's Exhibit 1. The homemaker who cares for Petitioner Hines was called as a witness by Petitioner. This witness has many other persons she serves and stated that she could not return the requested information to Respondent Department within the specified time limit, but that she furnished it as soon as she could. Petitioner lives alone and has no one else to care for her or help her with her business affairs.

Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law the Hearing Officer recommends that a Final Order be entered far by the Respondent Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services granting low income energy benefits to Petitioner. DONE and ORDERED this 4th day of December, 1981, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. DELPHENE C.

NATHANIEL MANNS, JR. vs. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT SECURITY, 86-004943 (1986)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Number: 86-004943 Latest Update: Mar. 05, 1987

The Issue Whether Respondent committed the alleged violations.

Findings Of Fact At the hearing of this case, the Petitioner's Motion that the request for admissions be deemed admitted was granted, resulting in the following facts being admitted: Waldron Produce of Citra, Florida, paid Respondent to supervise farmworkers harvesting peanuts on August 7, 1986. Respondent did not present to each farmworker he employed a notice of payment, showing the amount of compensation, number of hours worked, the rate of compensation, the name and federal identification number of legal employers of the farmworkers during the pay period, in detail, each and every deduction made from wages. Respondent did not retain for a period of three years an exact copy of each notice of payment form or a copy of the detachable part of the check, draft, or voucher that had been issued to each farmworker he employed. Respondent supervised a crew of farmworkers hand-harvesting peanuts approximately five miles east of Highway 301 on the north side of county road 319 in Marion County, Florida, on August 7, 1986. Respondent did not post his application for a certificate of registration at the work site of the farmworkers on August 7, 1986. Respondent did not post a working conditions statement at the work site of the farmworkers showing the rate of compensation the grower paid him and the rate of compensation he was paying the farmworkers on August 7, 1986. Respondent contracted with Waldron Produce for the employment and supervision of farmworkers without first displaying to Waldron Produce a current certificate of registration issued by the Bureau. In addition, the following facts are based upon evidence introduced at hearing: Respondent did not give wage statements to his workers. On August 20, 1986, Respondent met with CCCO Parker for a payroll audit. The audit revealed that Respondent was not giving wage statements to workers. Respondent did not make social security deductions and forward them to the social security administration. The audit revealed that Petitioner was not keeping the records by last name of each farmworker, or in a condition to facilitate inspection by the Bureau. (See testimony of Parker.) Respondent's records showed that he had paid Mr. Stanley Davy $77.00 for work during the week of August 4 through August 8, 1986. Mr. Davy received only half of the $77.00 and he worked approximately 11 to 12 hours per day. (See testimony of Davy.)

Recommendation Having found Respondent guilty of violating Sections 450.301, 450.33(7), 450.33(4)(a) and (b) , and 450.33(6), it is RECOMMENDED that Petitioner issue a Final Order imposing an administrative fine of $2,500 against Respondent. DONE and ORDERED this 5th day of March, 1987, in Tallahassee, Florida. STEPHEN F. DEAN Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1550 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 5th day of March, 1987.

EMILY ROBERSON vs. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES, 83-000763 (1983)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Number: 83-000763 Latest Update: Jun. 02, 1983

The Issue Whether Petitioner was properly denied home energy assistance as requested.

Findings Of Fact Petitioner is an 84-year-old unemployed homemaker whose entire and total income is a monthly Social Security payment of $300.04 and, periodically, when certain real property she owns is rented, a monthly rental check of $87.50. On December 23, 1982, because the property had not been rented for several months, Petitioner filled out and submitted a "Household Application for Home Energy Assistance" form at the Ocala, Florida, office of the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS). On this form, she listed, inter alia, her household makeup (she, alone), her Social Security number, and the amount of income she had each month, including the usual rent which she was not getting at the time. On January 13, 1983, HRS sent Mrs. Roberson a form letter requesting further information. This information requested was the award letter from Social Security, telling the amount she was getting each month, and something telling the rent she received, signed by the tenant. She was to provide this information before January 27, 1983. Apparently, Petitioner did not understand the request, and no one from HRS contacted her other than by this form letter. Sometime thereafter, Petitioner went into the HRS office and filled out another application form thinking that was the information requested. No action was taken on the second application. In any event, the requested information was not submitted and, as a result, the application was denied. Petitioner's family size and income would qualify her for assistance had her response to the request for additional information been timely. All during the time the Low Income Energy Assistance Program was in operation in Ocala, HRS had at least 6 or 7 staff members in the office to help individuals fill out their application forms and to answer questions posed by applicants.

Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is hereby RECOMMENDED: That the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services deny Petitioner's application for low income energy assistance benefits. RECOMMENDED this 2nd day of June, 1983, in Tallahassee, Florida. ARNOLD H. POLLOCK Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32301 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 2nd day of June, 1983.

FARM WORKERS RIGHTS ORGANIZATION AND MARIA GUAD vs. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES, 81-003243RX (1981)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Number: 81-003243RX Latest Update: Jun. 22, 1982

Findings Of Fact The Petitioner Farm Workers Rights Organization is an educational and charitable nonprofit corporation which has been organized under the provisions of Chapter 617, Florida Statutes. The purposes of the organization as provided in its Articles of Incorporation are as follows: To raise the economic, educational, and social levels of migrant and seasonal farm workers . . . who are seasonally unemployed, underemployed, or whose income is below federal poverty guidelines and to foster and promote community wide interest and concern for the problems of said farm workers to the end that (a) educational and economic opportunities may be expanded; (b) sickness, poverty, crime, and environmental degradation may be lessened; and (c) racial tensions, prejudice, and discrimination, economic and otherwise, may be eliminated. The organization is authorized under its Articles of Incorporation to do all lawful activities for the furtherance of its purposes. The Farm Workers Rights Organization is an active organization which has more than one thousand members. About three thousand persons are loosely associated with the organization. Many members of the organization reside in or around Immokalee, Florida, but members come from all over the state. Approximately ninety percent of the members are nonwhite, and most earn low or irregular incomes. Health problems are both a symptom and a cause of many of the problems that migrant farm workers face. The Farm Workers Rights Organization is active in promoting improved health care services for its members. The organization has actively opposed the issuance of Certificates of Need by the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services to health care providers which the organization contends do not adequately address the health care needs of poor and minority persons. A substantial number of the organization's members have experienced difficulty in obtaining access to needed health care services. The Petitioner Carmen Torres is a member of the Farm Workers Rights Organization. She is a low income person of Hispanic background who resides near Immokalee, Florida. She participates in the Medicaid Program. She has experienced some difficulty in obtaining adequate medical assistance for illnesses that she has suffered because many physicians and health care facilities do not accept Medicaid patients. Petitioner would like to have better access to hospital facilities such as those at Lehigh General Hospital. She has never applied for services at Lehigh General Hospital. Friends have advised her that Lehigh General Hospital would not accept her as a patient. No competent evidence was offered as to the identity or status of the other persons who are named as Petitioners in this proceeding. The Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services is responsible for administering Florida's Certificate of Need program under the provisions of Section 381.494, Florida Statutes. The Department is Florida's state health planning and development agency designated pursuant to the provisions of federal law. 42 U.S.C. s3000M. The Department has adopted rules setting criteria to apply to applications for Certificates of Need. These criteria are set out in Rule 10- 5.11, Florida Administrative Code. The rule does not specifically require that the Department consider the extent to which an applicant's proposed service would meet the needs of low income or minority persons, neither does the rule deem those needs irrelevant. Rule 10- 5.11(3) provides that the Department will evaluate "the need that the population served or to be served has for such pro posed health or hospice services." Rule 10-5.12(8) provides for hearing procedures to be conducted by the Division of Administrative Hearings under the provisions of Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. The rule provides at Paragraph (8): The only decisions of the Department which may be reversed or revised by the Hearing Officer are decisions as to the consistency or inconsistency of the application with standards, criteria, and plans described in Rule 10-5.11 herein. Rules that have been adopted by the United States Department of Health and Human Services under the provisions of 42 U.S.C. s3000M provide that state Certificate of Need review agencies consider the degree to which medically underserved persons have access to services under review. See: 42 C.F.R ss123.409(a), 123.412(a), and 123.413. States are required to administer their programs in harmony with the rules of the federal agency. Failure to do so can cause a state to lose federal funding assistance. The Department's rules do not have the effect of removing consideration of how a proposed medical facility or service would impact the needs of low income or minority persons. The Department has obtained input regarding such needs in Certificate of Need proceedings and has considered them. There have been proceedings in which the Department has not specifically addressed the needs of low income and minority persons. The Petitioners have had a special interest in a Certificate of Need application that was filed with the Department by Lehigh General Hospital. Lehigh General Hospital is seeking to build a new hospital facility which would completely replace a present facility. The Department determined in that matter that the application would not impact minority or low income persons because the same basic services would be provided at the new facility as had been provided at the old facility. The service area of Lehigh General Hospital includes the area around Immokalee, Florida. The Department has approved Lehigh General Hospital's Certificate of Need application. The Petitioner Farm Workers Rights Organization is now pursuing judicial action to set aside the approval of that application. It appears that the Department has failed to specifically address the needs of low income and minority persons in other Certificate of Need proceedings. It does not appear, however, that the Department has any policy of not addressing those needs.

MARGIE KNOWLES vs. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES, 84-000731 (1984)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Number: 84-000731 Latest Update: Aug. 02, 1984

Findings Of Fact The Petitioner, Margie Knowles, applied for low income home energy assistance payments by an application filed with the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services at is New Port Richey service center on November 2, 1983. After reviewing the application, the Department sent a letter to Petitioner requesting additional verification of the Petitioner's income on November 3, 1983, by United States Mail at the following address: 7th Avenue, route 2, Box 3072, Hudson, Florida 33567. This request was made because there was a variance between what the Petitioner reported on her application and what was recorded on her food stamp application, although both amounts were well within the eligibility requirements of the program. The Petitioner explained the variance by reporting that in one week they had picked tomatoes for only two days. The Petitioner did not receive the Department's letter requesting additional verification of income. Petitioner receives her mail in the mailbox of the primary house on the lot where she has her trailer. On November 17, 1983, the Department denied the Petitioner's application and found her ineligible for participation in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program because it had not received a reply to its letter of November 3, 1983. The Petitioner testified at hearing that she earned a total of $174 and received $121 in AFDC during the period of eligibility determination. Petitioner is well within the eligibility amount. She and her two grandchildren receive food stamps, live in Zone 4, use propane gas to heat with, and constitute a family of three.

Recommendation Because the Petitioner did not actually receive the Department's letter requesting additional information, and because the Department could have resolved the different income figures within its own records and personnel, it is recommended that the Petitioner receive low income home energy assistance benefits based upon the income figures and family size provided in paragraph six of the Findings of fact, supra. DONE AND RECOMMENDED this 1st day of June 1984 in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida. STEPHEN F. DEAN Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1550 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 1st day of June 1984.

Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Number: 81-000429 Latest Update: May 04, 1981

The Issue Whether Petitioner is eligible for low income energy assistance as provided in Chapter 80-167, Laws of Florida; Rule 10 CER 80-11, amended by Rule 10 CER 81-4.08 through 4.11, Florida Administrative Code.

Findings Of Fact Petitioner Lynn Brockmiller requested a hearing by a letter received in the office of Respondent on March 8, 1981. After the required informal conference with a supervisor in Respondent Department Petitioner requested a formal hearing. Petitioner failed to appear at the first hearing scheduled and also failed to appear at the second hearing which was subsequently scheduled. On January 9, 1981 Brockmiller, a white female, filed a Household Application for low income energy assistance. No one in her household is a migrant or migrant farm worker, and no one else has applied for the low income energy assistance. She lives with one other person and receives a bill for use of electricity for heating. By Notice of Application Denial mailed February 3, 1981 Petitioner was informed that she was denied assistance for the reason that her monthly income exceeded the maximum income for a household of her size. Action was taken by the Respondent within 45 days of Petitioner's application, and she was promptly notified of the reason for denial of benefits. Under Rule 10 CER 80-11.07, Florida Administrative Code, and the applicable chart Petitioner Brockmiller's household income exceeds the income limit of 418.00 for a household of two (2) persons.

Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law the Hearing Officer recommends that low income energy benefits be denied Petitioner.
