The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Arlene Twine's petition for reconsideration because it was untimely filed. California law requires petitions for reconsideration to be filed within 25 days of the WCJ's decision, with extensions for weekends/holidays. The WCAB clarified that filing means actual receipt by the Board, not just mailing. As Twine's petition was filed on June 26, 2015, over 25 days after the May 28, 2015 decision, the WCAB lacked jurisdiction to consider it.
