Summary

Applicant Yong Canfield, a warehouse worker who claimed knee injuries while employed by Amazon.com on June 1, 2023, settled his claim via a Compromise and Release for $7,500.00. The WCJ initially approved the settlement on January 30, 2026, then issued an Amended OACR on February 4, 2026, reflecting permanent disability advances of $4,350.00 and attorney fees of $1,125.00, leaving a net of $2,025.00 to applicant. Applicant, now in pro per, sought reconsideration alleging he was misinformed and misled into signing a resignation letter to settle the case. The Board dismissed the Petition as premature because no hearing had been held and there was no evidentiary record on which to evaluate his contentions. The matter was returned to the trial level with instructions to treat the Petition as one to set aside the Amended OACR and to set a hearing.
