In December 2025, the Board updated the process for addressing minor or typographical errors in Board decisions, removing the need to email the district’s Senior Law Judge or file a Request for Further Action (Form RFA-1LC or RFA-2) or Application for Board Review (Form RB-89). This message provides some additional clarifications and resources related to the updated process.
When a minor or typographical error in a decision is identified and evident upon review of the hearing record, the party who identifies the error:
- Contacts the opposing party seeking their agreement to the amendment.
- If both parties agree, the party requesting the amendment completes a Minor or Typographical Correction Request for Decisions (Form C-763.8) and emails it to adjudication@wcb.ny.gov, copying the opposing party. (Do not copy WCB Claims Filing on the email or send a copy of the form to be scanned into the case file.)
- The Board will then take the necessary steps to amend the decision accordingly.
Important clarifications
Form C-763.8 should only be used for minor corrections to Board decisions finalized by written agreement (EC-18, EC-18R, EC-23, EC-23R, EC-32.3, or Notice of Stipulated Decision). Note that EC-18 was not listed in the original announcement of this process update, but is referenced on Form C-763.8.
Examples of minor or typographical errors include mistyped dates, incorrect rate designations, or failure to notate material findings in the written decision.
Form C-763.8 should not be used to:
