Outcome
The court reversed the portion of the IAB order requiring Bayada to pay retroactive total disability benefits for the entire period, finding that Bayada's payment obligation ceased when it filed the termination petition on November 15, 2023, and the Workers' Compensation Fund became responsible thereafter. The case was remanded to clarify whether Shaw-Hicks received the required eligibility certification form and to determine the proper termination date for benefits.
