administrative appeal

An administrative appeal is a formal process that allows individuals or organizations to challenge a decision made by a government agency or authority. If you believe a decision—such as a denial of benefits, permits, or licenses—is unfair or incorrect, you can request a review of that decision through an appeal. This process provides an opportunity to present additional information or arguments, and have a higher authority within the agency reconsider the original decision. The goal is to ensure that decisions are fair, accurate, and consistent with laws and regulations.
