The Short Answer

NCIC Form 62 is the Notice of Reinstatement or Modification of Compensation used in North Carolina workers' compensation cases. It must be filed with the North Carolina Industrial Commission any time total or partial disability benefits that were previously suspended are being reinstated or modified. The employer completes the form, records the amount of compensation to be paid, and explains the reason for reinstating payment. A copy must also be sent to the injured employee and their attorney of record.

North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC) Form 62 is the Notice of Reinstatement or Modification of Compensation. If under any circumstances the payment of total or partial disability benefits have been suspended this form must be completed and submitted to the NCIC. A copy must also be provided to the employee and his or her attorney of record. On the form the employer will record the amount of compensation to be paid and the reason for reinstating payment.

Key Takeaways

  • Form 62 is officially titled the Notice of Reinstatement or Modification of Compensation and is filed with the North Carolina Industrial Commission.
  • The form is required any time suspended total or partial disability benefits are being reinstated or changed — it cannot be skipped.
  • The employer is responsible for completing Form 62 and recording both the compensation amount and the reason for reinstatement.
  • A copy of the completed Form 62 must be provided directly to the injured employee and their attorney of record, not just filed with the NCIC.
  • If you are an injured worker whose benefits were suspended, Form 62 is the official document that confirms your payments are resuming and at what amount.
