About the CA Division of Workers’ Compensation (DIR - DWC)

The forms represented in this collection cover both workers’ compensation claim materials and filings connected with specific proceedings. Claim-form options include DWC 1 documents, with some titles identifying Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, or Tagalog versions; one also names a Notice of Potential Eligibility. These language-specific titles help distinguish claim materials from the application and petition documents elsewhere in the catalog.

Other forms address different case-related purposes. The Application for Adjudication of Claim is an application, while the compromise-and-release document is a separate type of filing. A Subpoena Duces Tecum is also represented. Verification forms are associated with particular petitions or issues, including commutation, an IMR petition appeal, reopening a case, Labor Code 132a discrimination benefits, and serious and willful misconduct. These titles indicate distinct document categories, not interchangeable forms.

Those details can matter for claim materials and case filings alike.
