Failure to file appropriate reporting forms has serious consequences under the workers’ compensation act

Under the changes enacted in 1996, commonly known as Act 57, the Workers’ Compensation Act added several reporting requirement for injured employees. Failure to file the appropriate forms in a timely fashion can result in a suspension of workers’ compensation benefits and the possibility of proceedings under the new fraud provisions of the Act.

Those reporting forms are as follows:

LIBC Form 756A: Employee’s Report of Benefits (Unemployment Compensation, Social Security (Old Age), Severance and Pension Benefits) for Offsets

LIBC Form 750: Employee’s Report of Wages (other than Workers’ Compensation Benefits Received)

LIBC Form 760: Employee Verification of Employment, Self Employment or Change in Physical Condition
