ELMER COREAS vs. PEKING NOODLE COMPANY, ZENITH INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves a petition for reconsideration filed with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). The petition was dismissed as untimely because it was filed 29 days after the decision was served, exceeding the jurisdictional 20-day limit plus a potential 5-day mailing extension. The WCAB emphasized that filing deadlines are jurisdictional and that the Board lacks the power to grant untimely petitions. Had the petition been timely, it would have been denied on the merits according to the WCJ's report.
