San Francsisco, CA – The California Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) recently advised users of its Electronic Adjudication Management System (EAMS) that as of October 31, 2022, any e-filer account that has been inactive for six months or longer will be deactivated as part of an ongoing review and reconciliation of existing accounts.
An account is considered inactive if no one has used the assigned login to access EAMS for a minimum of six months. If the assigned login has been used at least once to access EAMS within a six-month period, the account is considered active.
This means:
- If you haven’t logged into your EAMS account since April 30, 2022, and you don’t do so prior to 5:00 p.m. on October 31, 2022, your account will be deactivated and disabled. You will not be able to log into EAMS unless the account is reactivated.
- If you have logged into your EAMS account at any time between April 30, 2022, and 5:00 p.m. on October 31, 2022, your account is considered active. You don’t have to do anything.
To reactivate a deactivated account, the Primary Administrator on the account must review the latest version of the E-Form Agreement on the E-Form filers webpage, then submit a completed copy of the EAMS E-Form Agreement spreadsheet to EFORMS@dir.ca.gov with “Account Reactivation” in the subject line. You will be notified when the account is ready for use.
The reconciliation of e-filer accounts will be ongoing and will take place approximately every six months.
