How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a failure to exhaust administrative remedies may be excused when the claimant faces a danger of irreparable harm from the administrative process
• concluding that the 60-day time period is not jurisdictional but is instead a statute of limitations that operates as a waiver of sovereign immunity
• ruling that § 405(g)’s statute of limitations is a condition on the waiver of the United States’ sovereign immunity that must be strictly construed
• concluding that, for claimants for whom expiration of the 60-day period barred further access to the administrative appeals process, \exhaustion is excused for the same reasons requiring tolling of the statute of limitations\
• concluding that “application of a ‘traditional equitable tolling principle’ to the 60-day requirement of § 405(g) is fully ‘consistent with the overall congressional purpose’ and is ‘nowhere eschewed by Congress’ ” (citation omitted)
• holding that the 60-day deadline is “strictly construed” even for pro se plaintiffs
