Requirements

Report requirements
  • An electronic filing of the final report shall be filed for all indemnity claims or claims resolved by lump sum settlement within 30 days from the date the surety or self-insured employer closes the claim file.
  • In the case of medical-only claims, a final report doesn’t need to be filed.
  • For death claims and permanent total disability claims, annual reports must be filed with the first quarter of each calendar year. A final report must be filed within 30 days from the date the surety or self-insured employer closes the death or permanent total disability claim file.

Format
  • Final reports for legacy claims filed before Nov. 4, 2017, must be submitted in a format substantially similar to IC Form 6.
  • Final reports for legacy claims must be submitted electronically after Sept. 14, 2023.

Change in status of employer
