On June 11, 2003, the Attorney General issued a Finding of Fact and Decision for an Emergency Award that granted the applicant an award of reparations in the amount of $489.51 for unreimbursed work loss incurred from May 5, 2003 through May 9, 2003. On November 3, 2003, the Attorney General issued a Finding of Fact and Decision denying the applicant any additional award pursuant to R.C. 2743.60(D) contending that the applicant had Medicaid. On November 25, 2003, the applicant filed a request for reconsideration. On March 24, 2004, the Attorney General filed a Final Decision indicating that no modification to the previous decision was warranted. On April 13, 2004, the applicant filed a notice of appeal to the Attorney General s March 24, 2004 Final Decision asserting that his work loss was incorrectly calculated. On May 26, 2004, the Attorney General filed a Brief recommending the Final Decision be affirmed since the applicant failed to prove he incurred additional economic loss. Hence, this matter came to be heard before this panel of three commissioners on July 7, 2004 at 11:10 A.M. Case No. V2004-60407 -1- ORDER {¶ 2} Neither the applicant nor anyone on his behalf appeared at the hearing.

The panel chairman concluded the hearing. {¶ 3} From review of the file and with full and careful consideration given to all the information presented at the hearing, we find the March 24, 2004 Final Decision of the Attorney General shall be affirmed without prejudice.
