If a party has been granted a waiver of the mandatory use of WCES, all documents filed with the division of workers' compensation pursuant to this chapter and Iowa Code section 86.24 except an original notice and petition requesting a contested case proceeding (see Iowa Code section 17A.12(9)) may be filed by facsimile transmission (fax). A copy shall be filed for each case involved. A document filed by fax is presumed to be an accurate reproduction of the original. If a document filed by fax is illegible, a legible copy may be substituted and the date of filing shall be the date the illegible copy was received. The date of filing by fax is the date the document is received by the division of workers' compensation. The division of workers' compensation will not provide a mailed file-stamped copy of documents filed by fax. The fax number for the division of workers' compensation is (515)281-6501.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code chapters 17A, 85, 85A, 85B and 86.
