Request an Adjournment or Reopening

If you are unable to attend your scheduled hearing and it is before your scheduled hearing date, you may ask us to consider scheduling a new hearing date for you.

If you did not attend a scheduled hearing, we sent you a Notice of Dismissal for Failure to Appear. You may ask that we cancel (“vacate”) that dismissal and, if approved, we will reopen and reschedule the hearing. You must give us a good reason (provide “good cause”) for not attending your scheduled hearing. You have 30 days from the date on your Notice of Dismissal to ask us to cancel (“vacate”) your dismissal and reopen your appeal. You must make a written request to reopen your appeal but you may request an adjournment or speak with us about reopening your appeal by calling us at 1-855-355-5777.
