A hearing will be scheduled after filing a written appeal. The state will issue a notice of the date, time, and place to report for the hearing. If the party who filed the appeal (plaintiff) does not appear at the hearing, most states will dismiss the appeal without taking testimony or reviewing documents. If the plaintiff appears, and the other party does not, a hearing will be held and a decision will be issued based upon the testimony given. Failure to appear at a scheduled hearing can mean the loss of your rights to appeal an unfavorable decision.
