(10.41) Can I get information about other people’s complaints or appeals?

DDS publishes the subject and decision for all Section 4731 Complaints filed every year. If you ask for this information, DDS must give it to you.[1]§ 4731(a).

For every appeal filed under Section 4700, DDS can tell you:[2]§ 4731(d).

  • If the case was resolved through an informal meeting or mediation.
  • If the consumer or regional center refused to have an informal meeting.
  • The issue(s) involved in the case.
  • The outcome of the case, if there was a fair hearing.

You can also read entire hearing decisions on the Office of Administrative Hearings website, which is: https://www.dgs.ca.gov/OAH/Case-Types/General-Jurisdiction/Resources/DDS-Decisions
