CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a prior award finding that "wage continuation" payments made to an injured custodian were not temporary disability payments for the purpose of calculating the 104-week limit under Labor Code section 4656. The Board concluded these payments, made under Education Code section 45199, were distinct from temporary disability indemnity, thus resetting the two-year limitation period. However, the Board rescinded the award of increased benefits under Labor Code section 4650, as that issue was not properly raised at trial.
