R 408.38 Application for advance payment of compensation.

Rule 8. An applicant shall submit an application for advance payment of compensation on form WC-108, or its electronic equivalent. If the carrier, second injury fund, self-insurers’ security fund, PEGSISF, or first responder presumed coverage fund refuses to approve the application, then the matter must be set for hearing to determine whether the application should be approved. A carrier, second injury fund, self- insurers’ security fund, PEGSISF, or first responder presumed coverage fund shall not approve, and a magistrate shall not order, an advance payment of compensation to a minor dependent until a legal guardian has been appointed.
