The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission has canceled all in-person hearings and mediations through April 30.
The commission remains open for all other business and therefore there is no change at this time in policy or procedure with regard to timely filing, statutes of limitation, or other statutory or rule based time limitations.
All parties affected will be contacted by the commission as soon as possible to reschedule.
As a reminder, the commission accepts electronic signatures for these forms: Claim For Benefits, Award Agreement, Fatal Award Agreement, Termination of Wage Loss and Employer’s Application.
During this time, VWC is committed to continuing to serve its customers:
- Its website and WebFile remain operational
- The Customer Contact Center is still available for calls at 1-877-664-2566
