Delaware’s DIA will provide some proof, but only in response to fax requests. A specific
three page form must be used when requesting the proof. You must print the “Request for Workers’ Compensation/Public Disability Benefit Information ” form because it cannot be completed online. In the TO: field, write "DE Division
of Industrial Affairs, Office of Workers Compensation." Complete the beneficiary information
on the first page, along with your contact information, and provide the Date of Injury
(leave the rest of the form blank). Fax it to 302-736-9170 and allow 30 days for a
response.
If WC was appealed, contact both
the State and the employer/carrier for payment information, as the information sent by either may be incomplete. When
the employer applies for supersedes to change prior awarded WC, the DIA takes over
the WC payments until a final decision is made. So, although the carrier may have
stopped making payments, the injured worker may still be getting WC from the state.
