2-1601 Exhibit 2: Sample <strong>Letter</strong>s Acknowledging Receipt <strong>of</strong> Case File, 2 pages<br />

Dear RECIPIENT:<br />

SAMPLE LETTER ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF CASE FILE<br />

REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING<br />

I am writing concerning the above-captioned compensation case and the request for an oral<br />

hearing before an OWCP representative.<br />

The Branch <strong>of</strong> Hearings and Review has recently received the case file from the district<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice. Should it be determined that the case is not in posture for a hearing, you will be<br />

advised within 90 days <strong>of</strong> receipt <strong>of</strong> this letter. If it is determined that the case is in posture<br />

for an oral hearing, it may be up to {seven} months before you can expect the case to<br />

appear on a hearing docket.<br />

Pursuant to 20 CFR 10.622(b), the hearing representative will attempt to accommodate any<br />

reasonable request for scheduling the oral hearing, but such requests should be made at<br />

the time <strong>of</strong> the original application for hearing, and must be made no later than 30 days<br />

from the date <strong>of</strong> this letter. Once the docket for the hearing trip is set, no changes will be<br />

made unless the hearing representative can reschedule the hearing on the same docket, or<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the following conditions applies: 1) the claimant will be hospitalized non-electively, or<br />

2) there is a death <strong>of</strong> the claimant's parent, spouse, or child. At least thirty (30) days<br />

advance notice will be given advising you <strong>of</strong> the date, time and location <strong>of</strong> the hearing.<br />

Should you wish to request the subpoena <strong>of</strong> witnesses for attendance and testimony at the<br />

hearing, or <strong>of</strong> records, correspondence or other documents, you must file your request no<br />

later than 60 days from the date <strong>of</strong> your initial request for hearing. Any such request must<br />

specify the witness or documents to be produced, provide the address for a witness to be<br />

notified, and provide a location <strong>of</strong> the documents to be produced. The request should also<br />

clearly explain why the testimony or evidence is directly relevant to the issues being<br />

addressed at the hearing and why the subpoena is the best and only method to obtain such<br />

evidence.<br />

While your case is under jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the Branch <strong>of</strong> Hearings and Review, all<br />

correspondence should be directed to the following address: Branch <strong>of</strong> Hearings and<br />

Review, P.O. Box 37117, Washington, D.C. 20013-7117.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

NAME OF CHIEF<br />

BRANCH OF HEARINGS AND REVIEW<br />
