Appeal deadlines regulate appeals processing according to the organization's implementation of appeals.
Appeals comes equipped with pre-defined appeals deadlines. These include deadlines for filing appeals, reaching a decision on an appeal, and implementing appeal decisions. Additional interim deadlines can be set for sending correspondence and scheduling hearings.
The appeal deadlines are maintained by a task which escalates if the deadline passes without completion of the defined action.
Also, time constraints can be used to manage the values for these appeal deadlines. As such, the values for these deadlines can be changed by an administrator. For more information on time constraints, see Appeal Administration.
