CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) affirmed two orders rescinding prior dismissals of applicant Gladys Ramos's cases. The dismissals were rescinded because SCIF failed to properly serve Ramos with notice of dismissal proceedings, violating due process and WCAB rules. SCIF's arguments regarding lack of jurisdiction and time limitations were rejected, as the orders rescinding dismissal were not final and SCIF's service failures constituted good cause for rescission under Labor Code section 5803. Consequently, SCIF's petitions for reconsideration and removal were denied.
