Who receives a copy of the acceptance?

The correct answer is that both the worker and the employer receive a copy of the acceptance. This process is crucial for ensuring that all parties involved in a workers' compensation claim are informed about its status. By providing copies to both the worker and the employer, it promotes transparency and allows both parties to understand their rights, obligations, and the next steps in the claims process.

The worker benefits from this by being aware of the decision regarding their claim and can take appropriate action if necessary, such as planning for medical treatment or income support. Meanwhile, the employer needs to be made aware of the claim's acceptance to manage any potential costs and to comply with any legal or insurance obligations.

In contrast, the other options focus on limiting access to the acceptance notification. For instance, only providing a copy to the insurer does not fulfill the need for transparency with the worker and employer. Similarly, restricting the acceptance notification solely to the worker's attorney or to medical providers does not address the employer's need for information, which is essential in the claims adjustment process. This ensures that all parties are aligned, minimizing future disputes or misunderstandings.
