Episode 86: Posthumous Loss of Use and Reattaching to the Labor Market

LOIS' resident Schedule Loss of Use guru, or "SLUru," Partner Jeremy Janis (https://loisllc.com/attorney/jeremy-janis/), returns to the Third Fridays podcast to discuss two case law developments. In the first case, Christian Sison (https://loisllc.com/attorney/christian-sison/) and Jeremy review a Board Panel Decision that overturns a posthumous SLU award. In the second case, they discuss the Board's implementation of a February 2024 Appellate Division case that favors employers whenever a claimant is found unattached to the labor market at the time of non-schedule permanency. How should cases be handled after these decisions?
