Fax Idaho Workers' Compensation — Reach the Right Office
Faxing Idaho Industrial Commission about a workers' compensation claim works best when you send to the right unit, because Idaho's program splits its incoming fax by function. For Idaho residents in the Intermountain West, Idaho Industrial Commission is the office behind the state's workers' compensation program. This guide shows how to route the document, what to include, and how to fax it securely.
Does Idaho Industrial Commission accept a fax?

Check which documents can still go by fax. When in doubt, confirm with the office whether fax is an option for your filing before you rely on it.
