Jason Becht vs. Manpower, Inc. / Bunge North America, ACE American Insurance, Cambridge Integrated Services

This case concerns whether an applicant is entitled to further temporary disability indemnity payments after exhausting the 104-week limit within two years under Labor Code § 4656(c)(1). The Appeals Board rescinded the WCJ's decision and returned the case for further proceedings, requiring a determination of the actual date temporary disability payments first commenced. The Board ruled that weeks worked do not extend the two-year limit and that it lacks jurisdiction to address constitutional challenges to the statute.
