Appeals Process

• Section Number: 10.600
• Section Name: How can final decisions of OWCP be reviewed?

    There are three methods for reviewing a formal decision of the OWCP 
(Secs. 10.125-10.127 discuss how decisions are made). These methods are: 
reconsideration by the district office; a hearing before an OWCP hearing 
representative; and appeal to the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board 
(ECAB). For each method there are time limitations and other 
restrictions which may apply, and not all options are available for all 
decisions, so the employee should consult the requirements set forth 
below. Further rules governing
appeals to the ECAB are found at part 501 of this title.
