LINCOLN, Neb. - Access to some information on wokers' compensation injury reports for certain parties will change due to confidentiality requirements that become effective July 18, 2026.

Legislative Bill 455 revises NEB. REV. STAT.§ 48-144.01, which requires confidentiality for certain information in an employee's injury report, known as the First Report of Alleged Occupational Injury or Illness (FRO/). Except as provided in § 48-144.01(2), the employee's name, address, phone number, and email address are confidential for 60 days from the report submission date unless the employee waives confidentiality.

The Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court has developed forms to verify whether requests for injury report information have been mae new confidentiality requirements.
