informal conference is an opportunity for you and a representative of your employer’s insurance company to meet with a Commissioner or Claims Mediator to discuss the settlement of your workers’ compensation claim.

The purpose of an informal conference is to reach an agreement on the amount you will be paid if you have any permanent disability or loss of use as a result of an on-the job accident. The agreement will cover any disfigurement or scarring related to the injury. Workers’ compensation pays for disability or loss of use, or on a limited basis, for disfigurement. You cannot be paid for pain and suffering or loss of companionship under workers’ compensation.

The conference is usually held in the county where you were injured, or in a nearby county. About 30 days before the conference, you will receive a notice that will let you know the date, time, and location of your appointment.

The Commissioner, or more likely a Claims Mediator, will review the doctor’s report of your treatment. You will be asked if the injury limited your physical activities and the Claims Mediator will look at any scars or disfigurement left by the injury. After a brief discussion with you and the insurance representative, the Claims Mediator will recommend a settlement amount. If you agree, you will be asked to sign an agreement and you will be mailed a check for the settlement amount.

A complaint has been sent to our office against your appraiser license and DFPR considers it serious enough to call you in for an informal conference. The Appraisal Director will try all avenues to contact the appraiser but if these attempts fail it will lead to a suspension of the appraiser license.

Yes, you may appeal with a request for an Informal Fact Finding Conference through the Administrative Process Act.

If you cannot come to an agreement, your claim automatically will be set for a formal hearing before a Commissioner. The hearing will be held in 3-4 months, and you will get a written notice at least 30 days before the hearing telling you the date, time, and place of the hearing.

Parent conferences are scheduled twice a year and upon request. Feel free to request a conference from a teacher or the director. Yes. We would love to have them, but please accompany them on their first visit so that we can be introduced.

NWSA’s Accessibility Chair works together with the local organizing committee and the national office to insure that the conference is accessible for all attendees.

The Board's Appeal Manager is assigned to manage your appeal and work with the parties to attempt resolution. Normally as a first step for most appeals, the Appeal Manager will have the Board's office staff arrange a telephone Appeal Management Conference. If one has not been arranged or if you feel another Appeal Management Conference is necessary, then you may request one. Please, however, be patient at the beginning the appeal year (May to July).

An Informal Hearing is an opportunity for a taxpayer to question or appeal a property value or classification. Normally taxpayers would choose an Equalization Appeal because the property value is appealed before any tax payment is due. Payment Under Protest can be used if the deadline for Equalization Appeal was missed. However, one half of the taxes will be due upon applying for a Payment Under Protest.

After the initial review of a request for investigation, if the Board does not wish to dismiss the complaint at this stage, the Board may vote that the psychologist meet with the Board for an Informal Interview. The Board's statutes use the term "Informal Interview" for an interview before the full Board that may result in resolution of the case other than through a "formal hearing." A formal hearing is a trial-type proceeding.

Sometimes universities describe their interviews as “informal”, which can often cause confusion as students don’t know how seriously to take them. Informal interviews are generally used as a chance for you to find out more about your university and department as well as for the tutor to find out about you.
