Summary

Lien claimant CCPOA-Benefit Trust Fund sought reconsideration of a December 18, 2024 Award based on Stipulations with Request for Award, asserting that its lien was not adequately addressed in the settlement documents. The WCJ found that the petition was premature because no evidence of good cause had been admitted into the record, leaving the Board unable to evaluate the lien claimant's contentions. The Board adopted the WCJ's Report, addressed the timeliness of its action under newly amended Labor Code section 5909, and dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration. Upon return, the WCJ may treat the petition as one to set aside the Stipulations and set a hearing to allow the lien claimant to present evidence.
