Best Practices for Adjudication Not Involving an Evidentiary Hearing

Recommendation 2023-5, Best Practices for Adjudication Not Involving an Evidentiary Hearing. This recommendation examines the wide range of procedures that agencies use when adjudicating cases in programs in which there is no legally required opportunity for an evidentiary hearing. It offers a set of broadly applicable best practices that account for the diversity of matters that agencies decide through truly informal adjudication and promote fairness, accuracy, and efficiency.
