Board Bulletins and Subject Numbers

February 17, 2026

As announced via Subject Number 046-1715 on September 12, 2024, and via GovDelivery notification on May 2, 2025, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board (Board) is implementing electronic submission of the Request for Further Action by Insurer/Employer (Form RFA-2). Effective March 20, 2026, the Board will not accept or act on paper RFA-2 forms submitted by insurers/employers. Additionally, the Board's current legacy RFA-2 web form will also become obsolete.

The movement to an electronic submission process is part of the Board's larger effort to reduce reliance on paper forms and streamline our processes.

How to Prepare

• If you haven't already done so, take time now to register for eCase. The electronic RFA-2 can be submitted in eCase through an eForm, which will immediately validate and place the RFA-2 in the electronic case folder.
• Register for RFA-2 eForm webinars on the Board's Upcoming Webinars page.
• Visit the RFA-2 eForm page on the Board's website for additional resources, including training materials for submission via eCase, as well as additional submission options outside of eCase that leverage XML.
