FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION ACT APPEAL RIGHTS
If you disagree with this decision denying reconsideration of your case, you may request review by the
Employees' Compensation Appeals Board. No new evidence may be submitted to the Board. Request for
review by the Appeals Board should be made within 90 days from the date of this decision and should be
addressed to Employees' Compensation Appeals Board, U. S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Avenue, N.W., Room
N-2609, Washington, D.C. 20210. For good cause shown, the Appeals Board may waive the failure to file
within 90 days if application is made within one year from the date of the decision being appealed.
NOTICE
Section 10.607(a)of Title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which concerns the reconsideration of a
decision by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), provides that OWCP will not review a
decision denying or terminating a benefit unless the claimant's request for review is filed within one year
of that decision. This provision of the regulations became effective June 1, 1987. Therefore, even though
the decision in your case was issued prior to June 1, 1987 and included the right to reconsideration,
without specifying a time limit, a request for reconsideration of that decision will be denied if it is not
made within one year from the date of this notice.
