THE APPLICATION FOR REVIEW OF THE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAW JUDGE’S DECISION WAS PROPERLY DENIED BECAUSE THE APPLICATION DID NOT SPECIFY WHEN THE OBJECTIONS TO THE DECISION WERE MADE (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined the Workers’ Compensation Board properly refused review of the award of benefits sought by the carrier. The application form (requesting Board review) did not specify when the objections to the contested decision by the Workers’ Compensation Law Judge (WCLJ) were made:

… [B]oth the application (form RB-89) and the instructions in effect at the time that it was filed required the carrier to “specify the objection or exception that was interposed to the ruling, and when the objection or exception was interposed” … . This information was to be supplied by the carrier in question number 15 of the application. In response to this question, the carrier stated, “Objections were noted during the course of the hearing and at the conclusion of the hearing regarding the [WCLJ’s] finding that no additional development of the record was necessary on the issue of attachment to the labor market prior to directing awards based solely on the amendment to [s]ection 15 (3) (w) that took effect 04/10/17.” Significantly, the carrier failed to identify the hearing at which the objection was raised, and the record discloses that there was more than one hearing at which claimant’s labor market attachment was addressed. As the carrier failed to provide the temporal information required by the regulations, we cannot conclude that the Board abused its discretion in finding the application to be incomplete and declining to review the WCLJ’s decision … . Matter of Demarco v Trans Care Ambulance, 2020 NY Slip Op 04895, Third Dept 9-3-20
