Description
In 1992, Patricia Denny recalled a repressed memory of sexual molestation that had occurred 23 years earlier when she was almost five years old. Denny sought time loss payments from the Department of Labor and Industries (Department) under the Crime Victims Compensation Act (Act). Initially, the Department paid the time loss claim but, in 1993, determined it had erred in paying. Denny appealed the Department decision to an Industrial Appeals Judge (IAJ), who ruled that Denny should be paid time loss compensation. After the Departments appeal to the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals (Board) was denied, the Department appealed to the superior court, which reinstated the Departments decision denying time loss compensation. We hold that under RCW 7.68.070 (7), Denny was not eligible for the payments because she was not gainfully employed at the time of the criminal act and, therefore, affirm the superior court and reinstate the Department decision.
