Summary

Applicant Mimi Htut sought reconsideration of a Findings of Fact and Award served on December 31, 2024. The Petition was filed on March 13, 2025, more than 30 days after service (which included a recipient in Texas, entitling the petitioner to a 30-day window). The Board found the petition untimely and dismissed it for lack of jurisdiction, while noting it would have denied the petition on the merits based on the WCJ's reliance on AME psychiatrist Dr. Brian Jacks' reports as substantial medical evidence. The Board also addressed its own timeliness in acting on the petition under the amended Labor Code section 5909, finding it acted within 60 days of the March 19, 2025 case transmission.
