Board Bulletins and Subject Numbers

November 15, 2024

As announced via Subject Number 046-1636 on November 2, 2023, and via GovDelivery notification on June 27, 2024, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board (Board) is implementing electronic submission of the Request for Further Action by Legal Counsel (Form RFA-1LC). Effective December 13, 2024, the Board will not accept or act on paper RFA-1LC forms submitted by attorneys/representatives. Additionally, the Board's current legacy RFA-1LC web form will also become obsolete.

The movement to an electronic submission process is part of the Board's larger effort to reduce reliance on paper forms and streamline our processes.

How to Prepare

• If you haven't already done so, take time now to register for eCase. The electronic RFA-1LC can be submitted in eCase through an eForm, which will immediately validate and place the RFA-1LC in the electronic case folder.
• Visit the eForms page on the Board's website for additional resources, including additional submission options outside of eCase that leverage XML.

Please email eForms@wcb.ny.gov if you have any questions.
