1. A self-insured employer who pays compensation due to an employee who has a permanent physical impairment from any cause or origin and incurs a subsequent disability by injury arising out of and in the course of his or her employment which entitles the employee to compensation for disability that is substantially greater by reason of the combined effects of the preexisting impairment and the subsequent injury than that which would have resulted from the subsequent injury alone is entitled to be reimbursed from the Subsequent Injury Account for Self-Insured Employers if:
(a) The employee knowingly made a false representation as to his or her physical condition at the time the employee was hired by the self-insured employer;
(b) The self-insured employer relied upon the false representation and this reliance formed a substantial basis of the employment; and
(c) A causal connection existed between the false representation and the subsequent disability.
If the subsequent injury of the employee results in his or her death and it is determined that the death would not have occurred except for the preexisting permanent physical impairment, any compensation paid is entitled to be reimbursed from the Subsequent Injury Account for Self-Insured Employers.
2. A self-insured employer shall notify the Board of any possible claim against the Subsequent Injury Account for Self-Insured Employers pursuant to this section no later than 60 days after the date of the subsequent injury or the date the self-insured employer learns of the employee's false representation, whichever is later.
