What if the Acknowledgment Order contains a timeliness or jurisdictional section?
If it is apparent from your appeal that your appeal may have been untimely filed or that the Board may not have jurisdiction (authority to hear your appeal), the Acknowledgment Order will contain a section called “Timeliness” or “Jurisdiction.” Those sections will specifically identify the jurisdictional or timeliness issue in your appeal and notify you that you have the burden of proof on those issues. Read those sections carefully and timely respond to the Order.
