Iowa Admin. Code r. 876-6.8
If a party notifies the workers' compensation commissioner that a matter scheduled for a hearing has been settled and the matter is removed from the hearing schedule, the proposed settlement shall be filed with the workers' compensation commissioner within 60 days of the notification. A party may, within 60 days of the notification, request an extension of time to file the settlement documents. If the settlement documents are not timely filed, the matter will be reassigned for hearing in Des Moines at a date determined by the workers' compensation commissioner and the parties cannot request that the matter be rescheduled. Any matter rescheduled because settlement documents were not timely filed shall not again be removed from the hearing schedule because a party notifies the workers' compensation commissioner of a settlement.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 85.35, 85.47, 85.48, 86.8, 86.13 and 86.27.
