CompFox AI Summary

Applicant Mona Murillo filed a Petition for Reconsideration on March 20, 2025, challenging a December 13, 2024, Findings of Fact by a Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge (WCJ). The WCJ had found industrial injury to Murillo's facial bones and left knee, sustained while working for the California Department of Corrections, but also determined she could not collect permanent disability benefits while incarcerated. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board reviewed the petition, defendant's answer, and the WCJ's Report and Recommendation. The Board determined that Murillo's Petition was both untimely, having been filed after the January 7, 2025, deadline, and unverified as required by Labor Code section 5902. Consequently, the Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration.
