Universal Citation: KS Admin Regs 51-3-16
Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 12, March 20, 2024

If the claimant resides out of the state of Kansas and it would be a hardship to require the claimant to return to the state of Kansas for hearing and if the parties agree to settlement, the claim may be closed by an award on joint petition and stipulation. Joint petition and stipulation may also be used in death cases where the liability and the entitlement to compensation is clearly defined.

The format to be followed in submitting a case on joint petition and stipulation shall be substantially as set out in a format furnished by the division of workers' compensation.

In cases involving death, the joint petition shall be accompanied by certified copies of the certificate of death, marriage certificate, birth certificates, copies of letters of guardianship and conservatorship, if appropriate, and copies of journal entries of divorce if a prior marriage puts question on a spouse's entitlement to compensation.
