10 Updated and New Forms – In accordance with COMAR 14.09.04.01E(1), counsel of record may file a notice of withdrawal of appearance only if the client has another attorney of record or the claim has been settled and there is no possibility of future medical benefits. Form C-25R Notice to Withdraw Appearance has been updated to clarify the requirements of COMAR 14.09.04.01E(1). If one of these requirements is not met, new form C-27 Motion to Withdraw Appearance must be filed for review and decision by the Commission. The updated C-25R and new C-27 forms are available our Forms & Instructions page; all requests to withdraw appearance must use either of these two forms for paper submission until further notice. The Commission has removed the online C-25R from WFMS.
Please begin using the new forms immediately.

1 NEW (Revised) PAPER CLAIM FORM COMING NOVEMBER 2021: The C-1 Employee Claim Form has been updated to include space for the claimant’s email address to be entered as item number 10 in the “Personal Information” section. The current paper form will be transitioned to the new form, which will be available for use on or about November 1, 2021. Claimants and/or their attorneys may begin using the paper form as soon as it is available.
