Summary

Applicant Raul Sanchez, in pro per, filed a Petition for Reconsideration of the Amended Findings and Award issued by the WCJ on May 6, 2026. Under Labor Code section 5900(a) and 5903, applicant had 25 days (until June 1, 2026) to seek reconsideration, but EAMS reflected the petition was not filed until June 26, 2026. The Appeals Board held that the 25-day time limit is jurisdictional and that it lacked authority to consider an untimely petition. The Board also confirmed its own decision was timely under former section 5909 (in effect July 2, 2024 through June 30, 2026) because it acted within 60 days of case transmission on July 21, 2026. The petition was dismissed, with the Board noting that even on the merits it would have denied the petition for the reasons stated in the WCJ's Amended Report.
