Summary

Applicant, a registered nurse, filed a claim for a specific psyche injury on November 6, 2021. After EDD began garnishing applicant's tax refunds to recoup an asserted lien, applicant filed a DOR seeking WCAB intervention. At a September 13, 2023 status conference—at which EDD was not yet a party—the PWCJ issued an Order directing EDD to file and perfect any lien and defer collection procedures. Defendant petitioned for reconsideration. The Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration because the Order was not a final order, granted the petition as a Petition for Removal, and rescinded the Order because the minutes of hearing were skeletal and the record contained no summary of evidence to support the WCJ's decision, remanding the matter for further proceedings.
