This page gives the address, phone, website, coverage lookup, forms and poster for the Idaho workers comp board, and explains what the agency does for an injured worker and for an employer.

What the Idaho Workers Comp Board Does
The Commission publishes its P.O. Box, not a street address; coverage is verified through the NCCI-run lookup linked from its site. The Commission’s referees hear disputed claims; the commissioners decide appeals, then the Idaho Supreme Court.
Three things the Idaho workers comp board does not do: it does not pay most claims (the employer’s insurer does, unless the state runs the fund), it does not give legal advice, and it does not choose a doctor for you. It is the referee and the record-keeper, which is exactly why its information line is the first free call for a confused claimant.
The Idaho Workers Comp Board for Injured Workers
Report the injury to your employer first — that deadline is set by Idaho law, not by the agency. Then the Idaho workers comp board comes in at three points: filing the worker’s claim form when the employer or insurer will not act, requesting a hearing when a claim is denied or benefits stop, and approving any settlement before it is final.
Bring the claim number, the date of injury, the insurer’s name and every letter you have received. Our Idaho claim guide walks through the deadlines and forms before you make the call.
The Idaho Workers Comp Board for Employers
Employers meet the Idaho workers comp board when they prove coverage, file the first report of injury after an accident, post the required notice in the workplace and — if they qualify — file an exemption. Coverage is bought from a private insurer or the assigned-risk plan; the agency checks that it exists. The threshold and penalties are in our Idaho requirements guide.

Before You Call the Idaho Workers Comp Board
Agency lines are busiest Monday mornings and the first days of the month. Have the claim number ready, ask for the name of the person you spoke with, and follow up in writing. The Idaho workers comp board can explain the process and the deadlines, confirm whether a form was received and tell you how to request a hearing; it cannot tell you what your case is worth.
