On August 9, 2022, the Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) [announced](https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2022/2022-64.html?utm_campaign=Periodic%20Updates&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=222325602&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--2Lpzbm60e3L9VpOP6znE7EzJXOv-o3GpFaNjY51aadRiVz2lm1Av2HG87ZMif1MvpMMd0lMd-nSN3B33JTSSxiFfioXqehv9Qyj7ImiAAhLqh1yk&utm_content=222325602&utm_source=hs_email) that all DWC district offices except Eureka will accept in-person walk-through documents beginning September 6, 2022, pursuant to CCR 10789. Eureka is permanently a virtual office and walk-through documents should be brought to the DWC Santa Rosa district office.

Additionally, effective September 6, 2022, DWC will not accept virtual walk-throughs in the Lifesize platform. Virtual walk-throughs were put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. DWC will only accept walk-through documents in-person. Walk-throughs will be available Monday through Friday, except on holidays when the Division’s offices are closed.

Parties must follow all provisions of CCR 10789 when presenting a District Office with a walk-through request. CCR 10789 is discussed in detail in [Sullivan on Comp](https://www.sullivanoncomp.com/) [Section 15.33 Walk-Through](https://app.sullivanoncomp.com/soc/index/title/15.33?utm_campaign=Periodic%20Updates&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=222325602&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_92pOdDilWEEhiZL5T7-T3ckyWUQ9yipcwOAtJaVCCi7E9TNsx-Iz1gcLSmKeMtw3B3nm77VZtuiq1Vmj87YqJw9optgG71pT9DY1f8J-znb5Bb5k&utm_content=222325602&utm_source=hs_email).

DWC will still accept by mail or e-filing any documents that are to be acted upon by a judge, including those that may otherwise be submitted by walk-through. If there are questions, parties may contact the DWC call center at (909) 383-4522.
