Informal Conference

My adjuster has scheduled an Informal Conference. What can I expect?

An Informal Conference is scheduled in an admitted case when the employee has been released by the treating physician to return to work. A Commissioner or Claims Mediator presides over the conference to review the proposed agreement.

The employee or the employer's representative may request an Informal Conference. The employee may request a conference by writing a letter to the Commission; the employer's representative may request a conference on a Form 18 (PDF).

If the issues are not resolved at the Informal Conference, the case is set before the Jurisdictional Commissioner for a hearing.
