Summary

Applicant Nina Resurreccion filed her application for adjudication at the Pomona District Office, located in Los Angeles County, where she resides. The WCJ granted defendant's petition for change of venue to Marina del Rey on October 14, 2025, apparently relying in part on the DIR website zip code locator tool indicating applicant lived closer to another district office. Applicant petitioned for removal, arguing venue was properly selected based on her county of residence. The Appeals Board granted removal, finding applicant would suffer substantial prejudice and irreparable harm, and held that under Labor Code section 5501.5 an applicant may file in any district office within the county of residence. The Board rescinded the change of venue order, denied defendant's petition for change of venue, and returned the matter with venue established at the Pomona District Office.
