CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board dismissed American Home Assurance Company's (AHA) Petition for Reconsideration regarding an order for AHA to administer three workers' compensation claims. The Board granted AHA's petition for removal, rescinded the order, and returned administration of the claims to CIGA. The Board found that the Workers' Compensation Judge prematurely ordered AHA to administer the claims, as no findings of liability or "other insurance" had been established, which are prerequisites for shifting administration away from CIGA. Therefore, CIGA will continue administering the claims until a determination of liability and coverage is made.
