Opinion by
JUDGE WEBB
T1 In this workers' compensation action, self-insured employer, United Airlines (employer), seeks review of a final order of the Industrial Claim Appeals Office (Panel), affirming the order of an administrative law judge (ALJ) that denied employer's request for reimbursement of temporary total disability (TTD) benefits in excess of the $75,000 statutory cap.
