formal decision, any notice <strong>of</strong> decision or compensation order must:<br />

(2) Comply with the statutory requirements <strong>of</strong> 5 U.S.C. 8124(a); and<br />

(3) Be released at the appropriate level <strong>of</strong> authority.<br />

CA-180 and CA-181 are considered formal decisions on claims for monetary compensation, and<br />

modification <strong>of</strong> a prior decision, may be appealed to the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board.<br />

2-1600-4 Order and Number <strong>of</strong> Appeals<br />

4. Order and Number <strong>of</strong> Appeals. Appeals may be requested in any order, except that a hearing may<br />

not be held after the case has been reconsidered. There is no limit to the number <strong>of</strong> times a claimant may<br />

request reconsideration and submit additional evidence.<br />

In providing information to claimants concerning their rights, the CE should refrain from suggesting that<br />

one form <strong>of</strong> appeal is appropriate in a given case, either as part <strong>of</strong> the decision or in any later<br />

conversation or correspondence.<br />
