The Appeals Board denied the Employment Development Department's (EDD) petition for reconsideration regarding its lien claim. The EDD sought reimbursement for unemployment benefits paid to the applicant, arguing they overlapped with permanent disability indemnity awarded. However, the WCJ correctly determined the EDD failed to establish it paid benefits for the same days as the permanent disability indemnity awarded, which commenced on the applicant's permanent and stationary date of October 15, 2019. Therefore, the EDD's lien was not allowed under Labor Code section 4904(b).
