CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the State Compensation Insurance Fund's (SCIF) petition for reconsideration. SCIF sought to overturn penalties and attorney's fees awarded due to an alleged unreasonable delay in issuing settlement proceeds. The Board upheld the administrative law judge's decision, finding that SCIF failed to sufficiently prove that replacement settlement checks were mailed on the dates claimed, thus supporting the applicant's testimony of a delay. The exclusion of SCIF's exhibits for lack of authentication was also deemed proper.
