The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted CIGA's reconsideration, affirming the denial of contribution for Fremont's pre-insolvency benefits due to untimeliness under Labor Code §5500.5(e). However, the Board reversed the denial of CIGA's reimbursement claim for post-insolvency benefits, finding that Argonaut provided "other insurance" and is therefore liable for reimbursement. The Board ordered Argonaut to reimburse CIGA for benefits paid after Fremont's insolvency.
