CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied reconsideration of an order dismissing a lien claimant. The dismissal was based on the lien claimant's failure to submit proof of payment for a $100 activation fee at a lien conference, as required by Labor Code section 4903.06(a)(4). While the lien conference was rescheduled due to administrative reasons, the WCAB found that the statute strictly prohibits granting additional time to pay the activation fee. Lien claimants are responsible for familiarizing themselves with applicable statutes and regulations to avoid such dismissals.
