§ 411.31. Reconsideration
(a) A claimant may contest OVS’s determination by submitting a written request for reconsideration no later than 30 days from the date of the determination. If a request for reconsideration is not filed within the time required, the determination becomes a final decision of OVS.
(b) OVS may consider a delay past the prescribed time period to be justified when one of the following circumstances exist:
(1) The direct victim, intervenor or the claimant is mentally or physically incapacitated.
(2) Other circumstances when good cause is shown by the claimant.
(c) If requesting reconsideration, the claimant shall provide any additional information or clarification that would assist OVS in conducting its reconsideration.
(d) Based on further review and additional information or clarification that OVS receives, OVS will issue a reconsidered determination that either reaffirms or modifies the determination.
(e) OVS may issue the reconsidered determination as a final decision of the agency if it determines that the facts developed in the claims determination process establish that a particular determination is warranted as a matter of law.
