Possible online services disruption due to Internet related outage

A worldwide technology outage is causing disruption to some State of Illinois online systems.  We are aware of this issue and are diligently working on restoration.

We are excited to announce assessments and self-insurance fees can now be paid electronically. Click here for instructions. 

Scheduled maintenance of the CompFile system is planned for Thursday, October 17th beginning at 2:00 PM. 

The system will be unavailable at this time.  A notice will be sent out once the system is back online.

About

Workers' compensation is a no-fault system of benefits paid by employers to workers who experience work-related injuries or diseases. 

The Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission resolves disputes between employees and employers regarding work-related injuries and illnesses.  A case is first tried by an arbitrator, whose decision may be reviewed by a panel of three commissioners. Cases may then be appealed to the circuit court, Appellate Court, and Illinois Supreme Court.  Like most court systems, the vast majority of disputes are resolved by settlement. 

Our staff will explain Commission procedures and case status information, but cannot answer specific legal questions regarding a case.  For more information, email us or call us 312-814-6500, Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Please do not fax questions.)
