PART 17_ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS--Table of Contents

 

  Subpart B_Claims Under the Military Personnel and Civilian Employees 

                           Claims Act of 1964

 

Sec.  17.42  Time limitations.



    A claim under this part may be allowed only if:

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, it is filed 

in writing within 2 years after accrual. For purposes of this part, a 

claim accrues at the time of the accident or incident causing the loss 

or damage, or at such time as the loss or damage should have been 

discovered by the claimant by the exercise of due diligence.

    (b) It cannot be filed within the time limits of paragraph (a) of 

this section, because it accrues in time of war or in time of armed 

conflict in which any armed force of the United States is engaged or if 

such a war or armed conflict intervenes within 2 years after it accrues, 

and if good cause is shown, and if it is filed not later than 2 years 

after that cause ceases to exist, or 2 years after the war or armed 

conflict is terminated, whichever is earlier.
