Description
CERTIFICATE OF READINESS FOR HEARING REQUEST TO SCHEDULE A HEARING The applicant's representative must file a Certificate of Readiness [COR] before the Office of WC Hearings (OWCH) will place the case in ready to be scheduled for hearing status. Explanation: The COR verifies that the case is ready for hearing and reduces the risk that a case scheduled for hearing will need to be postponed. The COR should also be used to encourage settlement discussions to resolve the case without the need for a hearing. General Instructions: Do not submit a COR until the applicant is certain that no other parties will be necessary. Do not submit the COR unless the WKC-16-B, vocational reports, or other essential medical reports are on file or are filed with the COR. The WKC-3 is not required to be filed with the COR. The OWCH will schedule hearings within 100 miles of the applicant's mailing address unless the applicant indicates a willingness to travel further, or has indicated a specific hearing location on the Hearing Application. Besides the dates of unavailability provided on this form, the attorneys should keep the OWCH calendar section notified of future dates of unavailability. Duty Disability claims require a denial letter from Employee Trust Funds (ETF). Please note the following general guidelines: Once scheduled, the OWCH will not postpone a hearing except for extraordinary circumstances. Gathering medical proof IS NOT an extraordinary circumstance. With the exception of reports filed in support of the COR, and unless waived by the parties, statutory deadlines for filing reports apply. If the status or nature of the claim changes after filing the COR, the applicant's representative must immediately notify the OWCH in order to prevent the scheduling of a hearing. If a scheduled case is postponed for this reason, the OWCH will require a new COR before scheduling another hearing. The parties should notify the OWCH in writing of address changes.
