Some examples of clerical error are:(a) Missing or incorrect words or numbers;(b) Dates inconsistent with the decision or evidence in the record such as using May 3, 1989, instead of May 3, 1998; or(c) Math errors when adding the total of an overpayment.(2) A party may ask for a corrected ALJ decision by making the request in writing and sending it to the OAH office that held the hearing. A copy of the request must be sent to the other parties or their representatives.(3) A request to correct a clerical error must be made within ten days of the date the decision was mailed to the parties by OAH.(4) When asking for a corrected decision, a party must clearly identify the clerical error.(5) When a party requests a corrected initial or final order, the ALJ must either:(a) Send all parties a corrected order; or(b) Deny the request within three business days of receiving it.(6) If the ALJ corrects an initial order and a party does not request review, the corrected initial order becomes final twenty-one calendar days after the original initial order was mailed.(7) Requesting a corrected initial order for a case does not extend the deadline to request review of the initial order by the review judge.
