CompFox AI Summary
The defendant sought reconsideration of two stipulated awards where the administrative law judge named "SCIF Insured Fresno" instead of the State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF). The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding that Appeals Board rule 10550 requires the use of a party's "full legal name" in stipulated awards. Since the Electronic Adjudication Management System (EAMS) name lacks legal effect, the Board amended both awards to correctly identify State Compensation Insurance Fund as the obligor.
