How do I appeal the decision of the office of administrative hearings' administrative law judge?

(1) The decision of the administrative law judge is the final decision of the department unless you or the department files a petition for review with DCYF board of appeals within 21 calendar days after the administrative law judge's decision is mailed to the parties.
(2) The procedure for requesting or responding to a petition for review with the board of appeals is described in WAC 110-03-0510 through 110-030-0530.
(3) We will not appeal decisions made by the board of appeals.
(4) If you disagree with the board of appeals, you may file a petition in superior court and ask for further review, as provided in RCW 34.05.510 to 34.05.598.
