CompFox AI Summary
In Whitley v. EBMUD, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the applicant's petition for reconsideration of a February 18, 2016 decision. The WCAB found it necessary to grant reconsideration to fully study the factual and legal issues to ensure a just and reasoned decision. All future correspondence related to the petition must be filed directly with the WCAB Commissioners and not with district offices or e-filed in EAMS. Pending the WCAB's decision after reconsideration, trial level documents not related to the petition will continue to be processed, but proposed settlements require prompt notification to the Appeals Board as a WCJ cannot act on them during reconsideration.
