IC
Adopts Resolution Governing Attorney Fee Authorization Requirements
The Industrial Commission has adopted
Resolution R03-1-03 which provides requirements for attorney fee
authorizations.
The resolution requires that attorney fee authorizations
be filed on the form created by the BWC (currently, form C-230).
For forms of compensation other than permanent partial
compensation,
the attorney fee authorization must be filed no later than the
hearing.
For permanent partial, the authorization must be filed before the
date
the order is mailed.
Authorizations must indicate the award to which they
apply,
and will be valid for 18 months. An authorization can only be
cancelled
in writing, before the order authorizing payment issues.
