Records at the State Compensation Boards are generally limited to determining if the employee has filed a claim and/or obtained copies of the claim record itself. Please consult your legal counsel with regard to accessing this information. The ADA restricts access in employment requests until after offering a conditional offer of employment to the applicant.
