If you disagree with a Division decision, what rights do you have?

• A. Administrative review by filing a written request with the Division Office of Compliance and Review, and the right to appeal.
• B. Only a private attorney can file an appeal.
• C. The right to an administrative review by filing a written request with the Division Office of Compliance and Review, and the right to appeal.
• D. There is no right to dispute the decision.

Answer: (C)

When you disagree with a Division decision, you have two avenues to challenge it: an administrative review and, if needed, an appeal. An administrative review means the Division looks at the decision again based on a written request you submit to the Division Office of Compliance and Review. Filing this written request creates an official record of your challenge and starts the internal reconsideration process. If you’re not satisfied after that review, you have the right to appeal to a higher authority within the system. The important point is that you’re not limited to using a private attorney or to a single path—you can file the administrative review yourself or with representation, and you can pursue the appeal through the designated process. That’s why the option that states you have both the administrative review right (by filing a written request with the Division Office of Compliance and Review) and the right to appeal is the most accurate. It isn’t correct to say there’s no right to dispute, and it isn’t correct to say only a private attorney can file an appeal.
