REGINA ROSS vs. ALAN and IRENE SMITH, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Legally Uninsured, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, IHSS, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND ADJUSTING AGENT

This case concerns a defendant's petition for reconsideration of a workers' compensation award. The defendant argued the temporary disability rate was incorrect, $391.28, when admitted earnings supported a lower rate of $260.86. The administrative law judge corrected this clerical error on the same day the petition was filed, within the allowed 15-day period. Therefore, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition as moot, as the error was timely cured by the judge.
