This form is then forwarded to the Department of Personnel Services. If the employee fails to report a claim on time, the claim may be denied. Make sure the person who files worker's compensation reports in your department notifies the Bureau of Personnel when you have been off work beyond this period. No compensation for lost time payments can be made until the Bureau of Personnel has received such notice. If you fail to furnish this information, your benefits could be delayed or suspended.
Legal action is possible in cases of fraudulent claims.
For example, if a person returns to work while receiving disability benefits. If you are placed on disability benefits, an agreement regarding compensation will be mailed to your employer's office which filed the Employer's First Report of Injury. You must sign the agreement and return it to the Bureau of Personnel. Every effort will be made to allow you to return to work as soon as possible. At a minimum, you should maintain weekly contact with your supervisor or Human Resource Director.
