Joinder of uninsured employers' fund

A claimant may, in the original application for benefits, or any party may, by motion accompanied by proper allegations while the case is still pending, and the administrative law judge shall, upon his own motion at any time before the rendition of the final award, cause the uninsured employers' fund to be made a party to the proceedings if it should appear that the named defendant has failed to secure the payment of compensation as required by KRS 342.340.
