What is a Form 36?
If your employer wants to discontinue or reduce your weekly payments, it must file a Form 36 (Notice of Intention to Reduce or Discontinue Payments), sending it to both you and to the Workers’ Compensation Commission. The Form 36 must provide an explanation for its intent to reduced or discontinued payment, and proper medical documentation to support its claim must be provided. If you object to the approval of the Form 36, you must file a Request for a Hearing form indicating your objection, within 15 days of your receipt of the Form 36. If you do not file a Hearing Request form objecting to the approval, the Form 36 will be automatically approved.
