                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 10_CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION ACT, 
 
                        Subpart G_Appeals Process
 
Sec.  10.600  How can final decisions of OWCP be reviewed?


    There are three methods for reviewing a formal decision of the OWCP 
(Sec. Sec.  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.
