The Department will process faxed, emailed, and mailed requests in the
traditional fashion. Please note the updated price per page rates for all
requests. All Open Records requests for the Department of Workers’ Claims must
be made using our Request Form. Detailed open records requests, those that
seek documents containing information exempt from disclosure, require a written release from the party whose information is
sought. Please use the Release of Records Form for all detailed open records requests. All requested
documents will be sent through the United States Postal Service. - $0.15 per page/ computer copy plus a $2.50 processing fee per request
- $0.75 per page/ microfilm request plus a $5.00 processing fee per request

The Department will no longer accept nor process Pre-Employment Screening requests as it has in the past.
The response to a Pre-Employment Screening request will only disclose
whether a first report of injury has been filed with respect to the
individual about whom the request is submitted. An Open Records Request
is required to obtain additional information.
The
Department of Workers' Claims requires pre-payment for all
Pre-Employment requests pursuant to KRS 61.874(1). Requests must be
mailed with the payment at the time of submission. Please include the
person's name, full Social Security Number, your return mailing address,
and the $2.00 per social request. Requests will not be processed and
will be returned if full payment is not included and/or the request is
not legible.
Pursuant to KRS 150.170, the Open
Records Section also verifies workers’ compensation awards for the
Department of Fish and Wildlife for individuals applying for free
hunting and fishing licenses.
There will be a $35.00 fee on all returned checks.
