GREGORY, Justice:

This consolidated appeal presents the issue of whether the Industrial Commission has jurisdiction to approve a third party settlement under S.C. Code Ann. § 42-1-560(f) when the petitioning employees have no present disability compensable under the Occupational Disease Act. The Commission ruled there was not jurisdiction, and the employees appeal. We dismiss.
