  2.  An employer who has been determined by the division to be an employer subject to and operating pursuant to this chapter and has also been determined to be uninsured may file an application for review but such application for review shall be accompanied with and attached to the application for review a bond which shall be conditioned for the satisfaction of the award in full, and if for any reason the appeal is dismissed or if the award is affirmed or modified, to satisfy in full such modification of the award as the commission may award.  The surety on such bond shall be a bank, savings and loan institution or an insurance company licensed to do business in the state of Missouri.  No appeal to the commission shall be considered filed unless accompanied by such bond and such bond shall also be a prerequisite for appeal as provided in section 287.495 and such appeal pursuant to section 287.495 shall not be considered filed unless accompanied by such bond.  If any other employer pursuant to section 287.040 would be liable, the employee shall be paid benefits from the bond until the bond is exhausted before the section 287.040 employer is required to pay.

Workers' compensation claims to be reviewed only by administrative law judges, commission or appellate courts, 287.801

(1958) Application for review deemed made on date it was received by commission rather than on date it was deposited in mail so that application for review, mailed on April 29 and received by commission on April 30, of an award made on April 19 was not timely made and commission had no jurisdiction to review referee's award.  Tabb v. McGinley (A.), 313 S.W.2d 745.

(1967) The filing of an application for review of a referee's award in a workmen's compensation case within the time prescribed by the statute provided for such a review is jurisdictional, and if the commission had no jurisdiction to review the referee's award then neither the circuit court nor the appeals court has jurisdiction to consider the appeal from the award of the commission.  Luketich v. Krey Packing Co. (A.), 413 S.W.2d 29.
