The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Shin Shen Tai's petition for reconsideration because it was untimely filed. The WCAB reiterated that petitions for reconsideration must be received by the Board within the 25-day statutory limit, with limited extensions. Proof of mailing alone is insufficient to meet this jurisdictional requirement. As the petition was filed more than 25 days after the WCJ's decision, the WCAB lacked authority to consider it.
