CompFox AI Summary
This case before the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board involves a Petition for Reconsideration filed by the applicant, Francisca Tejeda, against the County of Los Angeles DPSS. The Board denied reconsideration, adopting the reasoning of the administrative law judge. Crucially, the Board found that its statutory 60-day deadline to act on the petition was tolled due to administrative error. This tolling period, analogous to the situation in Shipley v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd., allowed the Board to issue a timely denial of the petition despite exceeding the initial timeframe.
