Further changes to the
Administrative Code were announced on June 21, 2023. Section 55.15(6),
pertaining to requirements for Compromise Settlement Agreements in old law
claims, contains the following instructions, held over from the Old Law days:
“all compromise settlement agreements submitted to the board must be submitted
in four parts--the original must be white, the second copy pink, the third copy
yellow, and fourth copy white. The forms must either be on NCR [no carbon
required] paper or be submitted with carbon left intact.”
For all future “old law” CSAs (of which there are likely to be few), system
participants have finally—finally—been
relieved of these onerous multichromatic paper specifications, which have been
cut from the rule, allowing for submission of settlement agreements “in the
form and manner prescribed by the DWC.” All further paper-related queries
can be directed here: https://youtu.be/6OlEEfvwXnA
