Forms filing timeline description
Legacy forms were accepted between EAMS go-live in August 2008 November 2008, when EAMS regulations requiring OCR forms became effective. DWC must get legacy forms into EAMS manually.
OCR forms were accepted and preferred at EAMS go-live but were not required until November 2008. Regulations now require OCR forms except for E-forms trial participants.
E-forms were accepted, from e-form trial participants only, beginning Sept. 22, 2008 (when trial logons were first issued), and continuing at the present time.
Only e-forms or OCR forms will be accepted until second generation electronic filing is permitted. (E-forms are the first generation.)
Second generation electronic filing:
Second generation electronic filing, known as JET File, will be accepted beginning late June 2011. JET File will allow larger volume filing.
