 WebForms' requirements are the same as paper forms submitted to the WCC.  WebForms have and meet the same legal requirements as hardcopy forms submitted.  If a form certification requires that you send a copy to all parties, you must print the form and send copies to all parties in the claim or as prescribed in the form instructions or certification of service.

Like most web-based forms, WebForms will proceed through the available data input fields.  As much as possible, the form will pre-populate with the indicated claim data from the WCC claim database.  As much as possible, the input fields will validate the information you enter- if selecting "yes" or "no" indicates you must explain or provide more information, you cannot submit the form without input into the "required" field.  Each input field will display an "information bubble" or tip when your cursor is in the field to explain the information requirements.

You must enter a valid email address on the form.  This will send a confirmation receipt with the form ID number, date and time to the indicated email indicating that the form has successfully submitted to the MD WCC.  When ready to "submit" the form to the WCC: verify the form information, select "Submit".  The results of a successful submission will display the completed form with a "time stamp" and your email address.
