Connecticut Workers’ Compensation: Claims, Disputes, and Help
On This Page
Which System Handles This Claim?
Connecticut’s claimant instructions distinguish notifying an employer from formally submitting Form 30C, Notice of Claim for Compensation. The commission offers both district-office information and an electronic submission option, but submitting to the commission does not eliminate employer-service instructions.
Official Connecticut Guidance.
How Do I Report the Injury?
Report the injury or illness and document the employer’s receipt. The commission suggests obtaining a signed, dated receipt or using a mailing method with a return receipt. Keep the explanation of how the condition relates to work with your records.

What Do I File?
Complete Form 30C using its current instructions. Send the required copy to the appropriate WCC district office and serve the employer as directed. The commission’s Claim-Filing Location Service helps identify where an employer copy belongs.

What if Benefits Are Disputed?
WCC’s GovQA portal accepts Form 30C electronically. Retain its confirmation separately from proof of employer service. If benefits are disputed, contact the district office about the hearing process rather than assuming a portal submission automatically schedules a hearing.

Where Can I Get Help, and What Should I Bring?
The official information packet covers benefits, procedures, and forms. Have your employer’s exact name, work location, injury dates, and existing notices ready when contacting WCC. Accident and occupational-disease time limits are not interchangeable; ask which rule applies to your facts instead of relying on a general deadline shown on a short webpage.
