CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Antonio Romero's Petition for Reconsideration as untimely. The petition was filed one day after the jurisdictional deadline of March 4, 2019. California law requires petitions for reconsideration to be received by the WCAB within the statutory period, not just mailed. Since the petition was not received within the allowed time, the WCAB lacked the authority to consider its merits.
