Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 622-1-.08 - Fund Not Bound as to Certain Matters

Where the Subsequent Injury Trust Fund has been placed on notice of a potential claim against the Fund, the employer/insurer shall keep the Fund advised and cooperate with the administrator or his designee while defending the claim. Where the administrator or his designee acknowledges in writing that the Fund does not raise an objection to the manner in which the claim is defended or resolved, the Fund will not raise Code Section 34-9-366 as a defense to reimbursement liability by the Fund; provided, however, that the Fund reserves the right to intervene where the administrator or his designee deems it appropriate.
