Case No. ADJ1337559RegularDec 16, 2010
DARLENE FIESTE RENDON vs. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; SCIF STATE EMPLOYEES SACRAMENTO
This case concerns a Petition for Reconsideration filed by a lien claimant, BTF, seeking commutation of a worker's compensation award into a lump sum. The Appeals Board denied the petition, upholding the WCJ's decision that there was no legal basis for commutation. Specifically, the Board found that the conditions for commutation under Labor Code §5100, such as avoiding inequity or hardship to the applicant, were not met. While the applicant expressed a desire for payments to resume to address debts, her actions and objections indicated she did not seek commutation for her own best interest.
