Protest with L&I

How employers file a protest about workers' compensation premiums with L&I

A protest is also known as a "request for reconsideration."

What you need to do

Send a letter requesting a reconsideration to the Revenue Officer (RO) that is listed on the document you are protesting or send a letter to any L&I office. Your request should include:

• The reasons why you disagree with the L&I decision.
• The Notice and Order of Assessment number.
• Your L&I account number.
• The address and phone number where you can be easily reached.
• Your business name and address.

Don't mail a request for reconsideration to the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals.

L&I staff will

• Send you a letter setting an appointment to meet with you in person or discuss the issues by telephone.
• Make a decision based on information you provide and notify you.

If you still disagree with the decision

You may file an appeal with the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals (BIIA).
