Summary

Lien claimant Ace Life Inc. dba Ace Translation Services filed a 'global' petition for reconsideration in ADJ8112676 (Chang) and a 'supplemental' petition in ADJ15375974 (Hwang), appealing the DWC MPN Unit's September 16, 2025 Determination Letter that found State Compensation Insurance Fund's (SCIF's) MPN for ancillary (interpreter) services compliant with Labor Code sections 4600(g), 4616(a)(4)(A)(i), and CCR sections 9767.3 and 9795.3. The Board deemed the global petition an appeal of the AD's MPN determination under section 4616(b)(4) and Rule 10560. The Board concluded SCIF's MPN roster was valid, holding that section 4616(a)(4)(A)(i) permits listing of entity name/address/phone when ancillary services are provided by an entity rather than an individual, and that the six-column requirement of Rule 9767.3(c)(3) applies to MPN applications rather than internet publication. The Board found no legal authority requiring interpreter certification information be made public. It denied both petitions and deferred the issue of payment for interpretation services from 2011 to 2022 to the trial level.
