CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration because it was filed 61 days after the Administrative Law Judge's decision, exceeding the 25-day jurisdictional deadline. The Board found proof of timely service by mail on the lien claimant's official address of record. Even if service were defective, the petition would still be untimely as it was filed 26 days after the claimant acknowledged receiving the decision, exceeding the 20-day period for filing after actual receipt in such cases. The Board would have also denied the petition on its merits had it not been dismissed for untimeliness.
