Wilkins v. United States
Section 2409a(g) is a non-jurisdictional claims-processing rule. A procedural requirement is only jurisdictional if Congress “clearly states” it is. Boechler v. Commissioner, 596 U.S. ___, ___ (2022) (slip op., at 3) (quoting Arbaugh, 546 U.S., at 515). This principle seeks to avoid judicial interpretations that undermine Congress’ judgment. Loosely treating procedural requirements as jurisdictional risks undermining the very reason Congress enacted them.
