California – The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC), in conjunction with its vendor partners, will host an electronic filing expo in Santa Ana on Thursday, Jan. 19. The event is free and anyone interested in e-filing or JET File is encouraged to attend.
Electronic filing is the fastest way to get documents into EAMS, DWC’s electronic case management system for the workers’ compensation courts. There are two ways to file electronically: e-forms and JET File. JET File is best suited for large-volume filers of the six most used court forms, while e-forms are available for all forms. The Jan. 19 expo will provide information about, and demonstrations of, both filing methods.
Filers looking for faster, easier and more cost-effective alternatives to paper forms are encouraged to attend this electronic filing expo:
Thursday, Jan. 19
10 a.m.-noon (morning session)
1-3 p.m. (afternoon session)
Conference room, 8th floor
605 W Santa Ana Blvd., Building 28
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Please note there may be costs for parking in this area.
No registration is necessary. Filers can drop in any time between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The program will repeat through the day. There will be an hour lunch break from noon until 1 p.m.
This is the fourth e-filing expo hosted by DWC, following events in Los Angeles, Van Nuys and Oakland. It is the first in Orange County.
“This is a great opportunity for filers to get a close look at their electronic options,” said Mark Fudem, acting associate chief judge for EAMS. “The expo will give them a chance to ask questions and get answers, and they can sign up to e-file on the spot.”
The expo will include:
- A walkthrough of each electronic filing method and its benefits for filers
- Access to tech and business experts, who will be available for consultation and questions about each filing method
- Approved software and third-party filing service providers, who can demonstrate and answer questions about products that help filers take advantage of the speed and efficiency of electronic filing
- Ability to sign up for electronic filing immediately
- Refreshments
- Prizes.
