Worker's comp and dischargeability of U.E.F. Claim

[Yahoo Bot]

(Answering my own question) I located the following case:
361 F.3d 1157 (9th Cir. 2004)
In re: Owen GEORGE;
Owen George; Deborah George, Plaintiffs-Appellants,
v.
Uninsured Employers Fund; Stephen J. Smith, Director of Industrial
Relations; Department of Industrial Relations; State of California,
Defendants-Appellees.
Here the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. (March 18,
2004) decided that in California the claim of the Uninsured
Employers Fund against a garden-variety uninsured employer is not an
excise tax.
(thus the claim is not subject to the three-year rule under 507(a)
(8).
This should be welcome news to those uninsured employers with a
massive UEF claim/judgment against them.
