Records Search and Copies

The Division of Workers' Compensation will provide copies of an injured worker's file and other records and data based upon the following criteria:

Searches and requests for individual claim histories based on a name and social security number will be assessed a $6.00 fee per request for searching up to five individuals plus $1.00 for each additional individual searched on each request. Should the requesting party want a copy/screen print of the injured workers' claim, it will be provided according to current fee schedule in addition to the above search charge. See current rules on criteria for a waiver for release of information from the claimant.

Searches and requests for copies of an injured workers' entire file will be provided based on the current fee schedule. The form for requesting the injured workers' file can be found on our forms and publications page.

The requesting party may apply to establish a charge account by filing a charge account application. The application may downloaded, filled out, and returned to allow copies to be returned as soon as possible. The agency sends an invoice monthly for the incurred charges with payment expected within ten days of receiving the invoice. Without a charge account all incurred costs will be invoiced and the copies will be mailed or faxed according to the information contained on the request as soon as payment is received.

Requests for searches and/or file copies may be made by phone, regular mail, hand delivered, facsimile (FAX), or by e-mail to our . E-mailed requests must contain the injured worker's name, social security number, and the injury date requested as well as the person and the firm requesting the information. Facsimile requests shall be submitted on the current agency form. Requests for complete files could take up to three weeks to fill the request due to having to order the requested file from the state records center.
