Effective 5:00 p.m. August 22, 2012
the claimant's Social Security number (SSN) is a REQUIRED
field to View Claim Documents and use the First Report of
Injury search (available to some subscribers).
The SSN entered MUST BE VALID, as
an example, entering 000-00-0000 or 999-99-9999 will not
grant access to view documents in the WFMS system, no
wildcard option can be used in the SSN field.
This affects only document viewing
services; Claim Inquiry, File Forms, Hearing Issues, Hearing
Results, Award Inquiry, etc. are unchanged. The Public
Claim Data Inquiry function on our home page is not
impacted. Vocational Rehabilitation form services are not
affected.
It is suggested that subscribers
use the basic Claim Inquiry search to help to identify any
prior claims by name and date of birth when the Social
Security number is unknown or unavailable.
This additional security is
required to secure non-public information in the View Claim
Documents service and resultant recent abuses of our web
site intended to access WCC information for unauthorized
purposes.
Research on claims not accessible due to
these changes may be facilitated by visiting Public Service
at our main office in Baltimore City during normal business
hours. Questions about onsite viewing can be directed to Public Service
via email:

ATTENTION PRACTITIONERS:
The Commission's Request for Document Correction form (C90R)
may only be used for undisputed factual errors that exist in
a document that has been filed in a specific workers'
compensation claim. If a factual dispute exists, the dispute
should be resolved at a hearing.
Do Not Use a Request for
Document Correction to resolve a disputed matter.
Also note that Settlement Agreements submitted to the
Commission for approval must include all parties in the
settlement heading, regardless if all of the parties are
settling. If a claim is being settled with parties that are
not listed in the case, you must resolve this issue before
submitting the settlement.
