INSTRUCTIONS TO THE EMPLOYER/INSURANCE CARRIER
A COPY OF THE FORM MUST BE MAILED TO THE CLAIMANT AND THE CLAIMANT'S REPRESENTATIVE.
This form must be filed with the Department of Labor to report disability or death compensation payments, as well as other statutory payments, in three
situations.
(1) You must file this form the same day you make a first payment of compensation. 20 C.F.R. 702.234. Failure to do so may result in assessment of a
penalty under 33 U.S.C. 930(b) and (e).
(2) You must file this form anytime you make an interim change in benefit payments. 20 C. F.R. 702.234. Failure to do so may result in assessment of
a penalty under 33 U.S.C. 930(b) and (e) .
(3) You must file this form within 16 days of final payment of compensation. 33 U.S.C. 914(g), 20 C.F.R. 702.235. Failure to do so will result in
assessment of a penalty in an amount established under 20 C.F.R. 702.236.
INSTRUCTIONS TO INJURED WORKER
A claim may be filed within one year after the injury or death (33 U.S.C. 913(a)). If compensation has been paid without an award, a claim may be filed
within one year after the last payment. Time for filing a claim does not begin to run until the employee or beneficiary knows, or should have known by
the exercise of reasonable diligence, of the relationship between the employment and the injury. In cases involving occupational disease which does
not immediately result in death or disability, a claim may be filed within two years after the employee or claimant becomes aware, or in the exercise of
reasonable diligence or by reason of medical advice should have been aware, of the relationship between the employment, the disease, and the death
or disability.
To file a claim for compensation, complete and sign an LS-203, Employee's Claim for Compensation. The form can be provided by your servicing
district office nearest you https://www.dol.gov/agencies/owcp/dlhwc/lscontac or you can obtain the form through our website: https://www.dol.gov/
