In HB1698 (820 ILCS 305/8(a) and 8.1 (a)), the Illinois Workers Compensation Commission (IWCC) was tasked with the responsibility of creating the mandatory Workers Compensation Preferred Provider Program (WC PPP) notification documents that an employer must provide to the employee at the time of injury. The mandatory form was published by the IWCC on 10/18/2011.
In a notice published by the IWCC on 6/20/2013, an updated form has been created that replaces the original mandatory document. The wording of the document has been modified and the requirement of an employee signature has been removed. The notice states that the revision was made based on employer concerns. The updated form has a revision date of 6/20/13
To view the new forms, go to http://www.iwcc.il.gov/forms.htm#other. Forms are available in English and Spanish.
