THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION PROCESS
-
Filing Deadlines
If you want to receive benefits from the first day of your injury or onset of occupational disease, you must file a claim within 21 days. Filing later than 120 days will likely be rejected.
-
When Will You Be Notified?
This varies, but if you missed time from work because of an injury or illness, you must be notified of acceptance or rejection within 21 days from the first day that you missed work.
-
Pursuing an Appeal
If you receive a Notice of Compensation Denial and you filed your claim within 120 days, then you have three years after the date of injury to appeal, but you should contact us and act fast.
