            Subpart D_Personnel Claims (31 U.S.C. 3701, 3721)
 
Sec. 842.26  Statute of limitations.

    (a) The claimant must file the claim in writing within 2 years after 
it accrues. It accrues when the claimant discovered or reasonably should 
have discovered the full extent of the property damage or loss. For 
transportation losses, the claim usually accrues on the date of 
delivery.
    (b) To compute the statutory period, the incident date is excluded 
and the day the claim was filed is included.
    (c) Consider a claim filed after the statute has run if both of the 
following are present:
    (1) The United States is at war or in an armed conflict when the 
claim accrues, or the United States enters a war or armed conflict after 
the claim accrues. Congress or the President establishes the beginning 
and end of war or armed conflict. A claimant may not file a claim more 
than 2 years after the war or armed conflict ends.
    (2) Good cause is shown. A claimant may not file a claim more than 2 
years after the good cause ceases to exist.
