Current Versions of Forms

These changes are often extensive, and it is important for all stakeholders to use the same form so that information is consistent. As such, WCB may announce that it will not accept older versions of an updated form after a certain date. The table below has the most recent version of each form, and where older versions are no longer accepted, includes the notation "Only current version accepted."
