The Division is evaluating whether it is necessary to request social security numbers on certain
forms, and is accepting public comments on these proposed revisions. The Division’s website
includes a full list of forms that have been identified as warranting either: (1) removal of the social
security number field entirely (e.g. DWC-2, DWC-25, DWC-31, DWC-33, DWC-35, DWC-45M,
DWC-46, DWC-48, DWC-49, DWC-51, DWC-54, DWC-55, DWC-56), or (2) requesting only the
last four digits of the social security number (e.g., DWC-6, DWC-24, DWC-32, DWC-45A, DWC-
47, and DWC-52). The revisions would apply to both the English and Spanish versions of the forms.
If you’d like to comment on the proposed revisions to the forms, the Division has asked that you
submit your written comments by 5:00 p.m. Central time on October 4, 2016. Written comments
may be emailed (Rulecomments@tdi.texas.gov) or physically mailed to: Texas Department of
Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation, Maria Jimenez, Workers’ Compensation Counsel
