LETEBRHAN BERHE vs. DLK VENTURES INC. dba HANNA HOUSE, RIDLEY NURSING HOME; VIRGINIA, SURETY INSURANCE COMPANY as, administered by FIRSTCOMP OMAHA

Defendant seeks reconsideration of an award finding applicant sustained a work injury and granted benefits, including reimbursement to EDD from applicant's permanent disability award. The defendant contends the WCJ erred by not ordering applicant to reimburse EDD directly. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the decision, and returned the matter to the trial level. This action was taken to allow the WCJ to determine EDD's entitlement to reimbursement directly from the defendant, given the defendant's failure to notify EDD of permanent disability payments after receiving EDD's lien notice.
