Collection of Defaulted Payments from the Employer
When Compensation Payment is Defaulted
A payment is considered defaulted when an unpaid payment or installment payments surpasses 30-days from the date such payment or payments are supposed to be due and payable.
Collection of Defaulted Payments
For the collection of defaulted payments, the employee or awardee must file an application for a supplementary order with the Commissioner within one year after such default. To file a petition for a supplementary order, the employee must complete and submit Form PY-01: Petition for Supplementary Order on Payment Default to the Commission's Office.
Once an application is filed, an investigation and a hearing will ensue including all the relevant notices needed to facilitate such manner as required by law. Only when the Commissioner determines and declares the amount at default will a supplementary order be granted and filed within the same manner as a compensation order.
