In this case, the State Compensation Insurance Fund (defendant) sought reconsideration of the Findings and Award and Orders (FAO) issued by a workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) on December 14, 2015. The FAO found that the applicant was entitled to up to 24 hours per day of non-skilled, non-certified home care services at the rate of $22.50 per hour for all dates from January 27, 2004 to the present and continuing. The WCJ’s Report and Recommendation on Petitions for Reconsideration and the applicant’s Answer to the Petition were considered. The Petition for Reconsideration was dismissed and the Petition for Removal was denied.

In this case, Santos Acevedo and the State Compensation Insurance Fund, on behalf of its insured, Del Mar Die Casting Company, both sought reconsideration from the Findings, Award and Order Re Home Care Issue, dated August 13, 2012. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board granted the petition for reconsideration in order to allow sufficient opportunity to further study the factual and legal issues in the case. The Board also ordered that all further correspondence, objections, motions, requests and communications be filed in writing with the Office of the Commissioners of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.
