Please be advised that due to the consolidation and closure of U.S. Postal distribution centers in and around Idaho, mail delivery has the potential for longer delivery times. For example, mail in the Pocatello area is now routed through Salt Lake City, UT and mail in Northern Idaho is routed through Spokane, WA.

To ensure proper filing deadlines are met, parties with time sensitive documents are encouraged to allow additional time for postal delivery. Additionally, parties may submit documents by express mail, by facsimile to (208) 332-7558, or by physically filing documents with the Industrial Commission.
