Language assistance services – important attorney/representative action

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The attorney/representative should advise when an interpreter will be needed at a hearing as well as the claimant’s preferred language when filing the Notice of Retainer and Substitution (Form OC-400) and Employee Claim (Form C-3) for their client. This ensures that when hearings are scheduled, an interpreter is identified, and enough time is allotted for the hearing.

For more information or assistance, please contact the Board’s customer service at 877-632-4996 or email LanguageAccessCoordinator@wcb.ny.gov.
