Which agency performs the appeal at the reconsideration level?

The correct choice is the Workers' Compensation Division (WCD), which is part of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services. This agency is responsible for overseeing the appeals process at the reconsideration level for workers' compensation claims in Oregon.

When a claim is disputed, the WCD evaluates the evidence and arguments presented in the appeal and issues a decision. This process ensures that the claims are handled efficiently and that workers have an avenue to seek redress if they believe their initial claim decisions were incorrect.

Other agencies mentioned, such as the Oregon Supreme Court, typically deal with matters of law and broader appeals processes, not specific claims reconsideration. The Workers' Compensation Board handles more formal hearings following the reconsideration but does not perform the reconsideration itself. The Department of Labor is a broader agency that does not specifically handle these types of appeals in the workers' compensation context. Thus, WCD is the correct agency for performing reconsideration level appeals.
