Vazquez, Maria

Applicant Maria Vazquez, a housekeeper, claimed industrial injuries in 2018 and 2024, and the parties entered a Compromise and Release with an OACR issued on February 25, 2025 following a walkthrough. Addendum A certified that applicant was not on SSDI or a Medicare beneficiary and was not within 30 months of eligibility. Defendant subsequently filed a Motion to Set Aside and a Petition for Reconsideration, contending the parties failed to consider applicant's age and that a Medicare Set-Aside may be appropriate because applicant was 'clearly a Medicare beneficiary at the time of settlement.' The Board treated the petition as one to set aside the OACR and concluded it was premature because no hearing was held and there was no complete record (no Minutes of Hearing or Summary of Evidence) for review. The Board dismissed the petition and returned the matter to the trial level for the WCJ to consider the motion to set aside, set a hearing, and create a proper record.
