I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘knowingly filing a false appeal’ is a reason to boot you off the plan in the first place.

For that to be an issue you would have to "know" it was false.

You signed it, verifying that you knew what it entailed. That's what the comment was pointing out.

What's the legal code if you THINK something is true and you affirm it, but you are wrong. It can't be the same as lying since you thought it was true.

I really wonder what the law says on something like that.

At least for something to be perjury there usually has to be "mens rea" (guilty mind).
