Q: I settled PA workers comp case and would like to know a time frame for when i will be getting my money? Waived appeal.
HI, I Waived my right to appeal in Philadelphia final hearing for a lump sum C & R . Judge approved it right at the hearing as she said that to us. Its been 11 days since the hearing. I was told that because I waived my right they usually send the check pretty Quickly. How quick ? Also how do they send the check ? Thanks so much for your help !
A: The relevant date is not the date of the hearing but the date of the written decision. When the decision is received there will be a "Circulation Date" in the top right hand corner of the first page. If payment is not mailed within 30 days of that date, it would be considered late. However, most carriers will mail the payment within 2-3 weeks of this date. Unless some other arrangement has been made, the check is normally mailed to you at the address listed on the Compromise and Release Agreement.
