CompFox AI Summary
The applicant, Oscar Martinez, was injured on May 3, 2017, resulting in a 3% permanent disability. He returned to his regular job duties with his employer, Securita America, Inc., but was laid off approximately five months later due to his employer's contract ending. While Martinez subsequently worked for a new employer at the same location and performing similar duties, the Board found that this did not satisfy the requirement of returning to the "same job for the same employer" for at least 12 months. Therefore, the Appeals Board amended the prior finding, ruling that Martinez is entitled to a Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit (SJDB) voucher.
