Miscellaneous

• WC FORMS NOTICE: The workers' compensation forms listed on the Department of Labor & Industry Adjudication Forms are provided for your immediate use. However, the Bureau of Workers' Compensation and the Workers' Compensation Office of Adjudication require their use on the effective dates noted on the form. Previous versions of these forms submitted after their effective dates will not be accepted and will be returned to the filing party.
  

• CIMS Claims Converted to WCAIS (effective September 2013).
  

• Obtaining UC Information for Hearings
  Due to changes in Federal regulations, Pennsylvania made changes to the Unemployment Compensation (UC) Chapter 61 regulations, effective February 12, 2011. The regulations now contain provisions which limit the use of unemployment compensation information in courts. Information on how to obtain Unemployment Benefits Offset Information for use in Workers' Compensation claims in light of these changes is available here.
  

• To request additional security for a hearing or mediation, please call the assigned judge's office and ask for the clerical supervisor. Access the Judge's Office Contact PDF for contact information. Please call as far as possible in advance of the hearing or mediation date, and be prepared to supply necessary information including the date and time of the hearing or mediation and the nature of the security concern.
