Who oversees disputes?
The workers' compensation commissioner is the head of the Division of Workers' Compensation which is part of the Iowa Workforce Development. Workers' Compensation has the responsibility of administering, regulating, and enforcing the workers’ compensation laws. Though the workers' compensation commissioner’s office cannot represent the interests of any party, the agency provides information regarding the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Law, the rights of the parties, and the procedures the parties can follow to resolve their disputes.
