They are also used in determining adequacy of the amount being paid to the individual by the employer or the employer's insurance carrier if it is contested. As they are received at the Industrial Accident Division, they are matched up with the appropriate file. If they concern an open contested case file, (see series 82227), they are filed in paper form into the appropriate applicant file.__If they regard an uncontested case or a closed contested case (contained on microfilm), they are microfilmed immediately upon receipt and indexed to the appropriate applicant information.
