The Injured Workers Transparency Act mandates explicit notices on workers' compensation claim forms.

The Injured Workers Transparency Act requires that forms used by injured workers to file claims and by insurance carriers to deny benefits include specific notices. These notices clarify that the carrier acts solely on behalf of the employer, inform the worker of their right to appeal, and provide details on the appeals process and statute of limitations. The Workers Compensation Commission must revise the forms to meet these requirements by January 1, 2027.
