AD and PD Objections Update!

Submitting Objections to Administrative and Proposed Decisions

The Board wants to make sure that we promptly and efficiently act upon all objections to Administrative Decisions (ADs) and Proposed Decisions (PDs). We have noticed that when an objection is not placed in the designated area on the AD or PD form, it can be misrouted, which leads to delays and confusion as to whether an AD or PD has become final. Therefore, we’d like to inform you of an upcoming process change regarding submitting objections to ADs and PDs.

Effective February 1, 2020, objections to ADs and PDs must be stated within the space provided on the issued AD or PD and sent to the Board. You must also include the WCB case number within your objection.

The following instructions have been added to ADs and PDs:

If you object to part or all of this decision, please state your reasons on the back of this form and return it to the address listed above (keep a copy for your records). Any objection must be received on this form. Additional pages may be attached, if necessary.

See below for a sample AD with this message. If you have any questions about this change, please contact the Board.
