Hearings
An injured worker may request a hearing by filing a Form 50 (PDF), Employee's Request for a Hearing, unless the issues involve temporary benefits terminated by the employer within 150 days after notice of the accident. In such cases, the injured worker can request a hearing by filing Form 15 (PDF), Part III of the Temporary Compensation Report. A hearing is granted within 60 days of the request. Please be aware that there is a $50 filing fee each for Form 50 and Form 15.
An employer can request a hearing by filing Form 21 (PDF), Employer's Request for Hearing, and paying a $50 filing fee.
