  • An electronic filing of the final report shall be filed for all indemnity claims or claims resolved by lump sum settlement within 30 days from the date the surety or self-insured employer closes the claim file.
  • In the case of medical-only claims, a final report doesn’t need to be filed.
  • For death claims and permanent total disability claims, annual reports must be filed with the first quarter of each calendar year. A final report must be filed within 30 days from the date the surety or self-insured employer closes the death or permanent total disability claim file.

Format
