Which option correctly states a filing deadline for reconsideration after service of an F&A by the WCAB?

• A. 20
• B. 30
• C. 45
• D. 60

Answer: (C)

The time to request reconsideration after service of a Findings and Award is forty-five days. The countdown starts the day after service and runs on calendar days. If service is by mail, add five days to that period. This 45-day window gives parties a set, reasonable period to review the decision and prepare a thorough reconsideration petition, while keeping the process moving. Missing the deadline generally bars reconsideration unless an applicable exception (like excusable neglect) applies.
