1Opinion of the CourtLemire, J.
*742*179This is an appeal by ACE American Insurance Company (ACE), from a decision of the reviewing board (board) of the Department of Industrial Accidents (department). The board held that ACE, rather than the Workers' Compensation Trust Fund (trust fund), was responsible for the continued payment of compensation benefits to Robert Janocha (employee) because G. L. c. 152, § 25A(2)(c ), of the Workers' Compensation Act (act), G. L. c. 152, as amended, requires ACE as a reinsurer *180to pay benefits in the event of exhaustion of a self-insurer's surety bond. We affirm.
