These guidelines for appeals to the Workers’ Disability Compensation Appeals Commission are here to help you, but they are not authoritative. You should still review all relevant laws and rules.
If the Board of Magistrates issues an order, you have 30 days from the date the order was mailed to appeal it to the Commission. If you miss this 30‑day deadline, the Commission may still accept your appeal only if you can show a good reason for the delay.
If the Director of the Workers’ Disability Compensation Agency issues an order, you have 15 days from the mailing date to appeal to the Commission.
With either appeal, you must send a copy of the appeal to the other parties, and send a written note to the Commission telling them who you served and at what address, and how you sent it.
Please send all documents directly to the Commission:

Make a copy of every document you send to the Commission to send to all other parties. Send the Commission a written note certifying that you did so, which should include the names and addresses of those you sent the copies to, and how you sent them. Your case could be dismissed if you don’t do this.
Here are several steps for your appeal, each with deadlines that must be followed. Failure to comply with filing deadlines may result in dismissal of your appeal.
If you are the appealing party, you must file the complete hearing transcript within 60 days of filing your claim for review and send copies to all other parties. Court reporters do not file transcripts for you. You can find more information here: Ordering a Transcript
Your brief is due 30 days after you file the complete transcript. If no transcript is needed, the brief is due 30 days after filing the claim for review. Responding briefs should be filed within 30 days after the initial brief is received.
If you need more time to file the transcript or a brief, you must file a motion explaining the reason you cannot file on time. Without a motion showing sufficient cause for extra time, your appeal may be dismissed.
A cross appeal may be filed after the appealing party’s brief but no later than 30 days afterward. It must be submitted on the Claim for Review/Cross-Claim Form (WC-262) and labeled as a cross appeal. If the main appeal is withdrawn or dismissed, the cross appeal will be dismissed.
Parties may file supplemental briefs at any time to address changes in the law, but these briefs cannot raise new issues.
All motions must be in writing. The opposing party has 21 days to respond.
