CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the applicant's petition for removal and rescinded the WCJ's order taking the case off calendar. The WCAB found it premature to join the Uninsured Employers Benefits Trust Fund (UEF) or Self-Insurers' Security Fund (SSF) as a trial decision on liability had not yet been made. The WCAB emphasized that the UEF or SSF can only be joined if a compensable injury is found and defendants are determined to be uninsured or improperly self-insured. The case was returned to the trial level for completion of the proceedings.
