Department of Labor Issues Direct Final Rule on Electronic Filing and Service for Employees' Compensation Appeals Board Proceedings

The Department of Labor is issuing a Direct Final Rule to require electronic filing and electronic service for attorneys and lay representatives in proceedings before the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board. The rule establishes e-filing and e-service rules of practice and procedure for the Board, which would apply unless a governing statute, regulation, or executive order establishes contrary rules.
