2 AAC 80.010. Applications for compensation

(a) All applications for compensation shall be made on the form authorized by the board. In order for the board to consider the claim, the claimant must supply in full the information required by the board. Additional sheets may be used, as necessary, to complete descriptions of the injury, incident, or expenses. For minors, the mentally incompetent, or persons unable to make applications for compensation themselves, claims may be filed by a parent, guardian, or other individual authorized to administer the injured person's estate.

(b) The applicant shall submit those medical reports and examination results that are reasonably available. On the basis of their potential relative importance or material aid to the determination of the board, the board will order additional medical reports by an impartial medical expert concerning the previous medical history of the claimant, the injuries sustained by the claimant, or the death of the claimant, as well as any examinations of the claimant.

(c) The board will make application forms available at the board office and at all law enforcement agencies in the state.

(d) Proof of prior maintenance acceptable to the board must be filed in claims requesting reimbursement for expenses incurred in the death of a dependent victim.
