You will need to read the letter carefully. It means you were either approved or denied. If you were denied you only have 60 days to file an appeal. If you do not appeal it within the 60 day window, you would have to start a new claim from that day, thus losing out on potential backpay. I recommend contacting an attorney to review the letter with you. Many attorneys will provide free consultations.
