Update regarding Section 32 waiver agreement form

Update regarding Section 32 waiver agreement form

The New York State Workers' Compensation Board (Board) has updated the “Resolution of Outstanding Medical Bills” section of the Waiver Agreement – Section 32 WCL (Form C-32). This section requires parties to agree to a date by which all medical treatment bills for established sites, in cases resolved by the agreement, shall or shall not be deemed the liability of the carrier and set forth any applicable exceptions. The following checkboxes: “The date of the WCL Section 32 hearing” and “The date of the Proposed Notice of Approval-Section 32 Waiver Agreement (PD-32 desk) becomes final” have been replaced with a single checkbox named “The date of the WCL Section 32 hearing, or the date the Proposed Notice of Approval–Section 32 Waiver Agreement (PD-32 desk) becomes final.” 

Beginning Monday, November 24, 2025, the Board will no longer accept Form C-32 with earlier version dates.
