This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing was held on September 15, 2004. The hearing officer determined that respondent (claimant) is entitled to supplemental income benefits (SIBs) for the second quarter. Appellant (carrier) appealed the determinations regarding good faith, direct result, and SIBs entitlement on sufficiency grounds. Claimant responded that the hearing officer did not err in making his determinations.

DECISION

We affirm.

We have reviewed the complained-of determinations regarding good faith, direct result, and SIBs entitlement and conclude that the issues involved fact questions for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are supported by the record and are not so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong or manifestly unjust. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986).

We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.

According to information provided by carrier, the true corporate name of the insurance carrier is AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
