Sec.  61.302  Time limitations for filing a claim for detention benefits.



    The time limitation provisions found in the Federal Employees' 

Compensation Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq.) apply to the filing 

of claims for detention benefits. The Office may waive the time 

limitations if it finds that circumstances beyond the claimant's control 

prevented the filing of a timely claim.
