BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

California to dismiss unresolved workers comp liens

The California Division of Workers’ Compensation will Tuesday dismiss more than 292,000 unresolved liens Tuesday by claimants who did not properly file the required forms, the division announced Monday. 

The move is in accordance with Senate Bill 1160, which went into effect Jan. 1 and required all lien claimants who filed a lien between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2016, and paid a filing fee, to file the forms by July 1. Lien claimants who failed to file the supplemental lien form and 4903.05(c) declaration form will have their liens dismissed, according to a statement.
