In
accordance with Oregon Revised Statute 192.502(20)
injured-worker claim records are exempt from public disclosure with
certain exceptions. The director of the Department of Consumer and
Business Services has adopted OAR 436-060-0009
which covers disclosure and release of injured-worker claim records;
eligibility for obtaining access; and the associated forms, fees,
appropriate processes. The Operations Section is responsible for
maintaining and releasing this information. The Central Services
Unit of the Operations Section will evaluate requests. If the
request is for claim history or claim file information, the Central
Services Unit will review the request and release the information
according to Oregon statutes and rules. In the case of appropriate
requests for bulk claims-history information for research or other
purposes, the Central Services Unit will coordinate the release
with the Information Management Division.
