Summary

While Walter Urrutia's case was pending on reconsideration of a WCJ decision dated January 23, 2023, the parties reached a proposed settlement. Because the District Office is precluded from acting on a case while it is pending on reconsideration under Cal. Code Regs., tit. 8, § 10961, the Appeals Board rescinded the WCJ's decision to allow the WCJ to review the proposed settlement. The Board returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings. The Board clarified that if the WCJ does not approve the settlement, the WCJ may reinstate the original decision and any aggrieved party may then seek reconsideration. This was expressly not a final decision on the merits of the issues pending on reconsideration.
