The Board denied the appellant's application for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment because her request was not timely filed, as she did not receive notice of the overpayment debt within the required 180-day period.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the appellant did not submit a timely application for the waiver of recovery of an overpayment debt due to lack of evidence showing receipt of the January 2010 notice informing her of the overpayment debt.
