Filing of amended claim to add SIF as a party did not toll Statute of limitations

The commission affirms a denial of benefits against the SIF without a separate opinion based on the statute of limitations.

 Claimant was an employee from 1984-2005 and alleged hearing loss. 

The ALJ found the claim against the second injury fund was not timely and amending the original claim to only add the second injury fund as a party did not toll the time to add the second injury fund.   Naeter v RC Lone Star (SIF only), DOLIR 6-15-2018  (3-0).
