Beginning on Monday, April 27, 2020, the Industrial Commission of Ohio will change the way it conducts telephone hearings in an effort to increase efficiency. In addition to the names of parties, claim number, date and time of hearing, and general information telephone number, the notices of hearing will state that the hearings will be conducted by telephone, and will provide a number and access code for parties and representatives to call in order to participate.
Telephone hearings that take place prior to April 27, 2020 will be conducted in the same manner that has been used during the last couple of weeks. For more information on workers’ compensation telephone hearings, visit here.
