If your employer had no insurance at the time of injury and your injury is a specific claim then UEF which is the department you mentioned in the question will in a way "represent" the employer to "expedite" the case in chief. The problem is that with the "financial CA crisis" UEF has been very low on funds. That is the reason why most UEF cases (like yours) are taking an "eternity" to settle. However that does not mean that everything else pending on the case in chief should be in a "frozen stage".
