Once during each calendar year the commissioner or designee shall review the need for continuing each family's subsidy. At the time of such review and at other times during the year when changed conditions, including variations in medical opinions, prognosis, and costs are deemed by the commissioner or designee to warrant such action, appropriate adjustments in payments shall be made based upon changes in the needs of the child or the financial status of the parent. Any legally chargeable county or any party to a subsidy agreement may at any time in writing request, for reasons set forth in the request, a review of the amount of any payment or the level of continuing payments. Such review shall be begun not later than 30 days from the receipt of the request. Any adjustment may be made retroactive to the date the request was received by the commissioner. If the request is not acted on within 30 days after it has been received by the commissioner, or if the commissioner modifies or terminates an agreement without the concurrence of all parties, any party to the agreement shall be entitled to a hearing and to appeals as provided in RSA 541 as now or hereafter amended.
