CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The Board adopted the findings of the WCJ, which determined that the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board lacked jurisdiction over the applicant's claim. Although the applicant received a Medical Provider Network notice from the employer, she was hired in North Carolina, resided there, and her injury occurred in South Carolina. The court found no sufficient nexus to California to establish jurisdiction, noting the MPN notice was part of a standard onboarding package and the applicant selected a North Carolina doctor.
