Ill. Admin. Code tit. 50, § 9020.20 - Application for Adjustment of Claim
a)
Applications for Adjustment of Claim (Application) with a certificate setting
forth the date of service shall be filed in triplicate on an appropriate form
provided by the Commission. The filing party shall serve one copy of the
Application that has been filed on all opposing parties.
b) An Application must be limited to one
accident or claim. After an Application has been filed with the Commission, any
other Applications for Adjustment of Claim covering that accident, but naming a
different employer, shall be assigned the same docket number as the original
Application.
c) Applications shall
be completed in full and must provide an accident or manifestation of injury
date, a description of how the accident occurred, the part of the body injured,
the geographical location of the accident for purposes of establishing venue,
and a description of how notice of the accident was given or acquired by the
employer.
d) Once an Application is
filed, the Commission will send the information on the Application, on a Notice
of Hearing, to the opposing party at the address supplied by the filing party.
If the Notice is returned to the Commission because the filing party has
supplied the wrong address for the opposing party, the Commission will so
inform the filing party. The filing party has the obligation of providing the
Commission with the proper address so Notice can be sent to the opposing
party.
e) Applications may be
amended prior to a hearing on the merits by filing an Amended Application for
Adjustment of Claim under the letter and number given the original Application.
The Amended Application must be clearly labeled "Amended" with all changes
clearly marked on all copies and must have attached to it all prior versions of
the Application for Adjustment of Claim. Also attached must be proof that the
filing party has served a copy of the Amended Application on the opposing party
in the manner set forth in Section
9020.70. It shall be within the
discretion of the Commission whether to allow any amendments to the Application
after the commencement of a hearing on the merits.
