The overall hearing review decision is approved before the hearing resolutions are implemented.
The hearing reviewer submits a hearing review decision for approval. The hearing review decision is then approved or rejected by the senior hearing reviewer. If the hearing reviewer has decision approval rights as part of his or her security profile, or if the senior hearing reviewer submits the hearing review decision, the decision is automatically approved.
Hearing review decisions submitted for approval have a status of submitted; approved hearing review decisions have a status of approved.
If the hearing review decision is rejected, it's status returns to open. The hearing review decision must be resubmitted to progress in the lifecycle.
Once the hearing review decision is approved or rejected, the hearing review appeal deadline task is completed and the hearing review is automatically closed by the system.
