Big Changes on September 9 - PA Bureau of Workers Compensation Goes Paperless

As of September 9, 2013, the Bureau of Workers' Compensation is initiating the full use of its new WCAIS system.  This online system is designed to reduce the use of paper in the Workers' Compensation system.  All petitions, answers and most forms will be available on-line through this system.  Hearing notices, evidence and communications will also be handled through this system.  It is brand new and no one is quite sure how it will work.  There may be delays while the kinks are getting worked out; however, in the end, this system promises to ease access to information in the system and to facilitate the exchange of information and correspondence between the parties and the Judge.  You must be a registered user to access the system.
