Department:

DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Division:

Division of Administrative Hearings

Chapter:

RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR WORKERS' COMPENSATION ADJUDICATIONS

Overview

RULE:

60Q-6.123

SETTLEMENTS UNDER SECTION 440.20(11), FLORIDA STATUTES

PURPOSE:

Amendments to procedural rules for adjudication of workers' compensation claims were implemented on October 31, 2012, pursuant to the mandate in section 440.45, Florida Statutes, that the Division of Administrative Hearings adopt procedural rules. It came to the Division's attention that the final draft neglected to strike language intended to be removed as not necessary to the adjudication of workers' compensation appeals.

SUMMARY:

The procedural rule revision strikes the unnecessary language concerning producing a certificate from claimant's counsel concerning efforts made to identify any liens since the rule already requires that such liens be identified.

61.14(8)(a), 440.45(1)(a), 440.45(4), FS.
