Summary

Applicant Pamela Bennett sought reconsideration of a WCJ's April 23, 2024 order summarily granting defendant's petition for credit due to alleged overpayment of temporary disability benefits under Labor Code section 4909. Applicant alleged a denial of due process because she had objected to the petition and requested an evidentiary hearing that was never held. The Board found that because no hearing occurred and no evidence was presented, there was no record from which to determine whether a credit was due. The Board also rejected the WCJ's suggestion that the petition was untimely, noting the 25-day deadline fell on a Sunday and the petition filed the next business day (Monday) was timely under CCR section 10600(b). The Board rescinded the order and remanded for further proceedings consistent with section 5313 and Hamilton.
