Claimant sustained a work-related injury in 2002. As the employers, Shahla Ahdoot and Mitchel Ahdoot, were uninsured, the Uninsured Employers Fund (UEF) paid benefits and sought reimbursement. In 2012, claimant and UEF reached a settlement agreement under Workers’ Compensation Law § 32 for $45,000, releasing UEF and the uninsured employers from liability. The Workers’ Compensation Board approved this agreement. The uninsured employers later sought to rescind the agreement, arguing lack of consent, but the Board denied their request, stating their consent was not required. The uninsured employers appealed this denial. The Appellate Court affirmed the Board’s decision, citing its lack of authority to review a waiver agreement once approved by the Board, and noted that the employers had not appealed an earlier determination regarding Mitchel Ahdoot's employer status.
