Summary

Applicant Ramiro Melendrez sought reconsideration of a December 10, 2021 Order Approving Compromise and Release (OACR), arguing it failed to address review of the Hartman formula addendum and the proposed MSA and social security addendum. The WCJ had approved the $343,707.07 settlement without holding a hearing and without checking the box confirming review of the proposed MSA for adequacy of Medicare's interests. The WCJ filed a Report recommending the OACR be vacated and the matter remanded. The Board found that because no hearing was held and no MOH/SOE existed, there was no complete record for review and the parties had not been afforded due process. The Board dismissed the Petition as premature and returned the matter to the trial level, recommending the WCJ treat the Petition as one to set aside the OACR and set a hearing.
