This case involves a contribution/reimbursement dispute between CIGA (servicing facility Broadspire, for the insolvent Superior National Company) and Transportation Insurance Company (TI, administered by Broadspire) following a workers' compensation arbitration. The arbitrator (WCA) found that CIGA was entitled to reimbursement from TI for permanent total disability benefits at a rate of $490.00/week plus $93,910.43 in medical payments. TI sought reconsideration arguing the rate should be the TTD rate of $314.16/week, while CIGA argued it was entitled to full reimbursement of $1,424,294.11. The Appeals Board did not reach the merits, instead finding the arbitration record was incomplete and inadequate for meaningful review. The Board rescinded the Findings and Order and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings.
