Rule 703
Appeals from Review of Administrative Decisions
(1) Orders, Decisions, and Awards made in a summary manner, without
detailed findings of fact, including Decisions on applications to approve agreements to
pay compensation and medical bills, applications to approve the termination or suspension
of compensation, applications for change in treatment or providers of medical
compensation, applications to change the interval of payments, and applications for lump
sum payments of compensation may be appealed reviewed by
filing a Motion for Reconsideration with the Industrial Commission and addressed to the
Administrative Officer who made the Decision or may be appealed by requesting a hearing
within fifteen 15 days of receipt of the Decision or receipt of the
ruling on a Motion to Reconsider. Said These issues may
also be raised and determined at a subsequent hearing.
(2) Motions for Reconsideration shall not stay the effect of the Order, Decision or Award; provided, that the Administrative Officer making the Decision or a Commissioner may enter an Order staying its effect pending the ruling on the Motion for Reconsideration or pending a Decision by a Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner following a formal hearing. In determining whether or not to grant a stay, the Commissioner or Administrative Officer will consider whether granting the stay will frustrate the purposes of the Order, Decision, or Award.
(3) Any appeal review made by requesting
a hearing shall be made to the Industrial Commission and filed with the Industrial
Commission’s Docket Director. The Industrial Commission shall designate a
Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner to hear the appeal review.
The Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner hearing the matter shall consider all issues de
novo, and no issue shall be considered moot solely because the Order has been fully
executed during the pendency of the hearing.
(4) The Amendments to this Rule are effective March 15, 1995.
