MILO ELANDER vs. MANN PACKING COMPANY, ZURICH NORTH AMERICA INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior award in favor of the applicant. Following the grant of reconsideration, the defendant notified the Board that the parties had reached a settlement contingent upon Medicare Set Aside approval. Consequently, the Board rescinded the original award and returned the case to the trial level for submission and potential approval of the parties' Compromise and Release Agreement. If the settlement is not approved, the prior award can be reinstated.
