Apply again
You can apply again any time. OHP looks at the month before your new application.
If you meet the rules now, or a reason fits you now, you may qualify. Take the 1-minute check.
Ask for a hearing
A hearing is a way to challenge OHP's decision. Your letter says how to ask for one and the deadline.
When you ask, you can also ask to keep your benefits while you wait for the decision.
