The Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) and Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) announced today they have updated certain forms to include a new body part code specific to injuries related to COVID-19 to properly allow for identifying said injuries.
The updated forms now include the new body part code - "900" - for filing claims related to COVID-19. Below are the forms that have been updated:
- Document Cover Sheet
- Application for Adjudication of Claim
- Compromise and Release
- Stipulations with Request for Award (for injury on or after 1/1/2013)
The updated forms are now available on the
DWC website
and will be made available for e-filers beginning May, 23, 2020.
