SC H4750

Requires workers' compensation claim forms and benefit denial forms to include a notice clarifying that the insurance carrier represents the employer only and does not advocate for the injured worker

Mandates that denial forms notify claimants of their right to appeal to the Workers' Compensation Commission, including detailed information on the appeals process, deadlines, filing requirements, fees, and commission contact information

Requires notice that claimants may represent themselves or hire an attorney, and that appeals may result in partial or full benefits including medical care and lost wages

Requires notice of the applicable statute of limitations with an explanation that failure to file within the deadline results in loss of the right to bring the claim

South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission must revise applicable forms to comply with these requirements before January 1, 2027, which is also the effective date of the act
