1. “The Division's jurisdiction over coverage disputes is, however, ancillary to its jurisdiction over the underlying claim. Sherwood, supra, 246 N.J.Super. at 534-36 [ 588 A. 2d 399 ], see also 9 Larson's Workers' Compensation Laws § 150.04 (2007). The Division's authority to decide questions of coverage is the authority "to decide whether the carrier covers the claim." Williams, supra, 51 N.J. at 153 [ 238 A. 2d 177 ]. In order for the Division to exercise that authority, there must be [1] a statutory basis for the exercise of jurisdiction over the claim that is the subject of the coverage dispute, and [2] the coverage dispute must be related to that claim. Ibid.; see generally Peacock v. Thomas, 516 U.S. 349, 356 , 116 S.Ct. 862, 868 , 133 L.Ed. 2d 817 (1996) (noting that a federal court exercising its statutorily granted supplemental jurisdiction "must have jurisdiction over a case or controversy before it may assert jurisdiction over ancillary claims"). [(Emphasis added).]”
