Christopher J. Godfrey, Workers'
Compensation Commissioner
The Workers’ Compensation Act is a part of the Iowa Code designed to provide certain benefits to employees who receive injury (85), occupational disease
(85A) or occupational hearing loss (85B) arising out of and during the course of their employment. Benefits are payable regardless of fault and are the exclusive remedy of the employee against the employer.
This site has been prepared to answer commonly asked questions about workers’ compensation and to provide the Iowa workers’ compensation community with the information and services they require. This Web site is a compilation of general information. Opinions or conclusions expressed or implied in this guide are not a final determination of this division. Reference numbers throughout are references to the Iowa Code unless otherwise indicated. For more information, you may contact the Iowa Division of Workers’ Compensation office.

PERFECT System Prototype |
PERFECT System Training Material For Attorneys
The anticipated start date has been, unfortunately,
again delayed. To avoid further inconvenience to all who will
use the PERFECT System it has been decided that we will not provide a
specific start date for the new system. Rather, we will provide
notice 60 DAYS prior to the start of the system. Once the 60 day
notice is provided all users will be offered free online training as a
refresher course for the training already provided. In addition,
training will be provided for external claims examiners.
The Division is sorry for the further delay and any
inconvenience that has resulted from the delay. Once the migration is
completed we will move onto testing of the application with migrated
data. Once testing is completed the 60 day notice will be
provided.
Please continue to check back periodically for
additional updates.
