Kansas's agency and claim process
Kansas disputes go to the director of workers compensation. Under K.S.A. 44-534, when the employer and employee can't agree on compensation, either may apply to the director for a determination, and the application is assigned to an administrative law judge.
Kansas timing rules for intake
Notice within 30 days
K.S.A. 44-520 requires notice to the employer within 30 calendar days of the accident, or within 20 calendar days after the last day of work if the employee no longer works there. Notice can be oral or written and should state the time, date, place, person injured and particulars. It's excused if the employer had actual knowledge, the employer was unavailable, or the employee was physically unable to give it.
Three years, or two from the last payment
44-534(b) bars a claim unless an application for hearing is filed within three years of the accident, or within two years of the last payment of compensation, whichever is later.
