Employers First Report Of Injury Or Illness (For State Employees) {DWC-1S}

DWC FORM-1S - EMPLOYER’S FIRST REPORT OF INJURY OR ILLNESS. Employers must file this form so SORM has the information they need to begin the claims process. You may be fined if you fail to send this report without having a good reason (good cause.) Send this form the State Office of Risk Management (SORM) and to the injured employee or the injured employee’s representative. Do not send this form to the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC), unless DWC specifically requests it. You must send the DWC Form-001S within eight days after the employee’s first day of absence from work due to the injury; you receive notice of occupational disease; or an employee dies. You can file the form with SORM and send it to the injured employee or the injured employee’s representative by email, fax, U.S. Postal Service, or personal delivery. www.FormsWorkflow.com
