This case involves a workers' compensation claim where CIGA seeks reconsideration of a prior decision. The core dispute centers on whether a Travelers insurance policy issued to Jessie Lord Bakery excludes coverage for special employees leased from Staffchex. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior decision, and found that the Travelers policy provided coverage, reasoning that the exclusion endorsement was invalid as it lacked the required written affirmation by the policyholder. Furthermore, the Board clarified that general and special employers remain jointly and severally liable for workers' compensation benefits, irrespective of agreements between them.
