The good news: I just updated the entire user registration system to help people register and log in a lot easier! A website software update recently mangled the registration process – it was functional, but ugly.
The bad news: Many users will discover their accounts had to be reset. Not to worry! Just register with your work email address and you should be good to go!
If you’re still having trouble, just drop me an email and I’ll help you out. :)
I just couldn’t find a clean unfilled copy of the official “STIPULATION and AWARD and/or ORDER” PDF form. Sometimes PDFs can be weird and it’s just best to find a new clean copy than fill out an old one. However, for a form that gets used all the time in hearing rooms throughout California, I couldn’t find it on the Board forms webpage!
You know how much of a hassle the WCIRB website is? In order to figure out coverage dates for a given employer you either need to mail in a request and wait a few weeks, ask a judge to pull this information for you, or keep submitting dates and alternate names, submitting CAPTCHA’s to prove your humanity every 5 searches. 1
After a lot of searching, I found that the DWC forms web page must have been heavily updated just after 11/01/2008 because as of the next Archive.org page save, the “DWC WCAB form 5” form for the “STIPULATION and AWARD and/or ORDER” PDF was suddenly missing! For those that were around at the time, this is back when the DWC website was2 transforming3 into the EAMS system.
Anyhow, that’s the long way of saying I found the last version of the DWC WCAB form 5 Stipulation and Order PDF form for your benefit. :)

If you’re poking around the site, you’ll notice I turned off a few things. Well, it seems like a tradition that a new year brings a new set of interesting server issues. I don’t really mind all that much – it gives me a little break to learn some new things, improve a few things, and get stuff working again.
Anyhow, if you stopped by the site, why not take a second to say “Hi!” or send a few words of appreciation/encouragement?
