Which DWC notice requires proof of service?

Which DWC notice requires proof of service?

• A. DWC 500-E
• B. DWC 500-D
• C. Both A and B
• D. Neither A or B

Answer: (A)

In California workers’ compensation procedures, notices that affect the other party’s rights or trigger participation must be served and have proof of that service filed. The DWC-500-E is the notice that is specifically used to notify parties of an upcoming event (such as a hearing or conference) and it includes the requirement to provide proof of service when filed. This makes it the form that requires proof of service. The DWC-500-D is used for other purposes within the process and does not carry the same service-verification requirement in the same way. So the form that requires proof of service is the DWC-500-E.
