CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board is reconsidering a prior award due to CIGA's contention that the applicant's claim is not a "covered claim" because other insurance was available. The central issue is whether the special employer's (Farmdale Creamery) workers' compensation policy with SCIF constitutes "other insurance" under Insurance Code section 1063.1(c)(9), which would exclude the claim from CIGA's coverage. The case is remanded for further proceedings to definitively determine the availability of this "other insurance" and its impact on CIGA's liability.
