The U.S. Department of Labor has launched the e-Judication Initiative,
an e-Government effort that will create a comprehensive citizen-focused IT
solution at the Office of the Solicitor (SOL) and the four adjudicatory
agencies: the Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ), the Administrative
Review Board (ARB), the Benefits Review Board (BRB), and the Employees'
Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB). The focus of this Initiative is to provide
improved, timely, and interactive adjudicatory services on behalf of the
American Workforce.
In order to achieve this objective, DOL has developed a new Web site
offering a wide range of information on matters involving status of a case or
an appeal, links to relevant statutes and case law, and Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs) regarding hearings and appeals at the Department. Furthermore,
the e-Judication Web Portal is an invaluable source of Labor-related legal,
regulatory, and procedural information.
Currently, the Web site, located at www.dol.gov/ejudication, is meant to
introduce e-Judication and is informational in nature by offering the following
additional highlights on one consolidated Web site:
- Agency Information
- Contact Information
- Regulatory Information
- Previous DOL Case Decisions
- Search Capabilities
Development will continue over the next several years to further develop
the interactivity of this Web site. The portal will eventually allow for
e-Filing, e-Status and e-Service.
