     Title 42 U.S.C. Section 3027(a)(5) provides for granting a hearing before the Department for Title III Older Americans Act grantees or applicants. In order for a grantee or applicant to be able to exercise this right, the State Agency (Aging Services Division) or the Area Agency on Aging, is responsible for informing, in writing, each grantee or applicant at the time of application for funding of the right to a hearing. This is done in conjunction with the Request for Proposal process at the State and Area Agency on Aging level.
