- Section Number: 725.226
- Section Name: "Good cause" for delayed filing of proof of support.
(a) What constitutes "good cause." "Good cause" may be found
for failure to file timely proof of support where the parent, brother,
or sister establishes to the satisfaction of the Office that such
failure to file was due to:
(1) Circumstances beyond the individual's control, such as extended
illness, mental, or physical incapacity, or communication difficulties;
or
(2) Incorrect or incomplete information furnished the individual by
the Office; or
(3) Efforts by the individual to secure supporting evidence without
a realization that such evidence could be submitted after filing proof
of support.
(b) What does not constitute "good cause." "Good cause" for
failure to file timely proof of support (see Sec. 725.222(a)(3)) does
not exist when there is evidence of record in the Office that the
individual was informed that he or she should file within the
prescribed period and he or she failed to do so deliberately or through
negligence.
