The appeal regarding the timeliness of a waiver request for an overpayment in the amount of $2,933.45 was dismissed as it was not filed within 180 days after notification.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Appellant's February 2023 request for a waiver was untimely because she did not file it within 180 days of receiving the initial notice of overpayment in December 2021, and there was no clear evidence to rebut the presumption of regularity regarding the mailing.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
