employees covered by this subdivision prior to the effective date of Chapter 1263 of the 1975 Regular Session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(c)\u2002In any claim in which it is

on the basis of the evidence available to him or her, whether the employer was prima facie illegally uninsured. \u2002A finding that the employer was prima facie illegally uninsured shall be made when the director determines that there is sufficient evidence to constitute a prima facie case that the employer employed an employee on the date of the alleged injury and had failed to secure the payment of compensation, and that the employee was injured arising out of, and occurring in the course of, the employment.<\/p>\n<p>Failure of the employer to furnish within 10 days the written statement in response to a written demand for a written statement prescribed in\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 3711\u00a0<\/span>, addressed to the employer at its address as shown on the official address record of the appeals board, shall constitute in itself sufficient evidence for a prima facie case that the employer failed to secure the payment of compensation.<\/p>\n<p>A written denial by the insurer named in the statement furnished by the employer as prescribed in\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 3711\u00a0<\/span>, that the employer was so insured as claimed, or the nonexistence of a valid certificate of consent to self-insure for the time of the claimed injury, if the statement furnished by the employer claims the employer was self-insured, shall constitute in itself sufficient evidence for a prima facie case that the employer had failed to secure the payment of compensation.<\/p>\n<p>The nonexistence of a record of the employer&#8217;s insurance with the Workers&#8217; Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau shall constitute in itself sufficient evidence for a prima facie case that the employer failed to secure the payment of compensation.<\/p>\n<p>The unrebutted written declaration under penalty of perjury by the injured employee, or applicant other than the employee, that the employee was employed by the employer at the time of the injury, and that he or she was injured in the course of his or her employment, shall constitute, in itself, sufficient evidence for a prima facie case that the employer employed the employee at the time of the injury, and that the employee was injured arising out of, and occurring in the course of, the employment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p>(d)\u2002When the director determines that an employer was prima facie illegally uninsured, the director shall mail a written notice of the determination to the employer at his or her address as shown on the official address record of the appeals board, and to any other more recent address the director may possess. \u2002The notice shall advise the employer of its right to appeal the finding, and that a lien may be placed against the employer&#8217;s and any parent corporation&#8217;s property, or the property of substantial shareholders of a corporate employer as defined by\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 3717\u00a0<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Any employer aggrieved by a finding of the director that it was prima facie illegally uninsured may appeal the finding by filing a petition before the appeals board. \u2002The petition shall be filed within 20 days after the finding is issued. \u2002The appeals board shall hold a hearing on the petition within 20 days after the petition is filed with the appeals board. \u2002The appeals board shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine appeals of the findings by the director, and no court of this state has jurisdiction to review, annul, or suspend the findings or the liens created thereunder,

claim brought against an employer under this section may be resolved by the director by compromise and release or stipulated findings and award as long as the appeals board has acquired jurisdiction over the employer and the employer has been given notice and an opportunity to object.<\/p>\n<p>Notice may be given by service on the employer of an appeals board notice of intention to approve the compromise and release or stipulated findings and award. \u2002The employer shall have 20 days after service of the notice of intention to file an objection with the appeals board\u00a0<span
