How many days after I receive my unfavorable or partially favorable NOTICE OF DECISION do I have to file my appeal?

Within 60 days of the date you get your NOTICE OF DECISION, you must file your appeal.  The Appeals Council assumes you received the NOTICE OF DECISION 5 days after the date shown on that notice unless you can show that you did not get it within the 5-day period.  The Appeals Council will dismiss a late request unless you show good cause for not filing it on time.
