The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A. Applications for review upon the ground of a change in condition filed by the employer or carrier shall be in writing, under oath, and state the following: 1. The ground relied upon for relief; 2. The date through which compensation has been paid. Compensation must be paid through the date on which the application is received in the . . . Commission offices, or posted by certified mail. . . . * ** * * C. Upon receipt of the application from the employer or carrier, together with the supporting documents, in the offices of the [Industrial] Commission, it shall be examined for compliance with this and any other provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act or rules and, if accepted, no further action shall be taken for a period of fifteen days to permit the opposing party to submit any preliminary evidence it so desires. At the expiration of such fifteen-day period, the Commission shall determine if the preliminary evidence filed by both parties justifies suspension of compensation pending a hearing on the merits of the claim. If so, the Commission will place the claim on the hearing docket and authorize the suspension of compensation as of the date for which compensation was last paid. If the preliminary evidence does not warrant placing the claim on the hearing docket, the parties will be so advised and the employer or its insurance carrier will be advised to continue compensation payments.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A suspension pursuant to Rule 13(C) is simply preliminary and temporary, intended to protect both parties’ interests until the commission resolves the noticed matter on its merits. Rule 13 “is not an authorization for an employer or insurer to suspend payments with assurance that [an employee] may not have them reinstated.””
