Commissioner’s Bulletin # B-0036-05

August 17, 2005

TO: WORKERS' COMPENSATION SYSTEM PARTICIPANTS

RE: MODIFICATION REQUIRED FOR LETTERS, FORMS AND WEBSITES

As of September 1, 2005 , the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission (TWCC) will become the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation (Division). This change will prompt many modifications to letters and other correspondence generated by TWCC as well as TWCC forms and the TWCC's website. For all system participants who generate letters, notices, forms, or correspondence, or who publish information on websites containing references to the TWCC's name, the following outlines the plans for making these changes.

Below is a guideline, though not inclusive of all possible variations contained on letters, notices, forms, and websites, that may assist you in making changes that are consistent with those the Division is making. Please use these guidelines to start making your corrections.
