CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an order finding CIGA solely liable for temporary disability benefits for the period of July 25, 2007, to December 18, 2008. The Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning that there was no jurisdiction to order State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund) to pay these benefits, as the need for temporary disability did not commence within five years of State Fund's insured injuries. The Board also admonished the applicant for submitting unadmitted evidence and CIGA for attaching documents in violation of WCAB rules. The WCJ found CIGA solely responsible, rejecting arguments that State Fund was jointly liable or that the temporary disability should have commenced earlier.
