When must the Form 1502 be submitted to the Workers' Compensation Division (WCD)?

The Form 1502 must be submitted to the Workers' Compensation Division (WCD) within 14 days of the relevant action because it serves as a notification of a claim or reportable event related to workers' compensation. This time frame ensures timely communication regarding the status of the claim, which is crucial for the administration and processing of benefits for injured workers.

In the context of this requirement, the emphasis is on the "relevant action," which refers to specific events such as the acceptance of a claim or an administrative decision that impacts the claim. Submitting the form within this period helps to maintain compliance with regulatory timelines and allows for effective monitoring of claims.

This time-sensitive requirement is particularly important for the overall efficiency of the workers' compensation system, as delays could potentially hinder the benefits and support available to injured workers.
