Oregon WCD: Fax Number for Hearing Requests

What is Oregon WCD's fax number for?

Oregon's Workers' Compensation Division does not take initial injury claims by fax, or by any other direct channel. Form 801, the new injury claim, goes to your employer, who forwards it to the insurer, confirmed on WCD's own worker filing page. What WCD does confirm by fax is the Request for Hearing (Form 2839), stating on the official form itself: "Fax to: WCD Hearings, 503-947-7511."

Where to fax

• Request for Hearing, Form 2839, appealing a decision (worker): fax 503-947-7511. Source: the official Oregon WCD Request for Hearing form.
• New injury claim, Form 801 (worker): not to WCD, give it to your employer instead.

Which route should I use?

1. Use the 503-947-7511 fax only for a Request for Hearing appeal, not a new injury report.
2. For a new workplace injury, complete Form 801 and give it to your employer, who forwards it to the insurer.
3. Call the WCD Hearings questions line, 503-947-7822, if you're unsure your appeal qualifies.
