CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns CIGA's petition for reconsideration of an arbitrator's decision finding it liable for applicant Mario Ybarra's workers' compensation benefits. The core issue is whether an endorsement excluding coverage for leased employees on a Travelers policy issued to Reed's Inc. was valid. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinding the arbitrator's decision and finding the Travelers policy provided coverage. The Board determined the exclusion endorsement was invalid because it was not countersigned as required by the regulation in effect at the time the policy was issued, and the amendment to the regulation was not retroactive.
