When Compensation Payment is Defaulted

A payment is considered defaulted when an unpaid payment or installment payments surpasses 30-days from the date such payment or payments are supposed to be due and payable.

​​

​

Collection of Defaulted Payments

For the collection of defaulted payments, the employee or awardee must file an application for a supplementary order with the Commissioner within one year after such default. To file a petition for a supplementary order, the employee must complete and submit Form PY-01: Petition for Supplementary Order on Payment Default to the Commission's Office.

​

Once an application is filed, an investigation and a hearing will ensue including all the relevant notices needed to facilitate such manner as required by law. Only when the Commissioner determines and declares the amount at default will a supplementary order be granted and filed within the same manner as a compensation order.
