Its programs are designed to return injured employees to their health and to their job as quickly as possible.

Hemos recibido información sobre estafadores que están contactando personas de habla hispana involucrados en reclamos de compensación para trabajadores. Estas personas pueden llamarle, enviarle un correo electrónico o un mensaje de texto haciéndose pasar por un juez o un funcionario del estado de Tennessee.

Cómo funciona la estafa:
Es posible que le digan que "ganó" una audiencia probatoria y que debe pagar una cuota y proporcionar su número de Seguro Social para recibir su compensación. Reciente, una estafa presento un correo electrónico falso: [email protected].

Recuerde estas 3 cosas para mantenerse seguro:
1. Las audiencias se programarán a través del proceso oficial de la Agencia Estatal, nunca mediante un correo electrónico o texto al azar. Después de presentar una solicitud de audiencia con las fechas acordadas, las partes recibirán una notificación oficial de registro de [email protected] con la información correcta.
2. Verifique el número de teléfono. Las llamadas oficiales vendrán de códigos de área de Tennessee.
3. Nunca pague para recibir beneficios. Nunca se le debe pedir que envíe dinero a una dirección fuera del estado para "liberar" su reclamo.

¡Por favor COMPARTIR esta publicación para ayudar a proteger a su amistades y familiares!

We’ve received reports of scammers targeting Spanish-speaking workers involved in a workers' compensation claim. These individuals may call, email, or text pretending to be a judge or a state official.

How the scam works:

They might tell you that you "won" a hearing but need to pay a fee or provide your SSN to get your money. One recent scam used the fake email: [email protected].

Remember these 3 things to stay safe:

1. Hearings are scheduled through the Bureau’s official process — never through a random email or text. After a hearing request with agreed dates is submitted, parties will receive an official docketing notice from [email protected] with the correct call-in information.
2. Check the phone number. Official calls will come from Tennessee area codes.
3. Never pay to get benefits. You should never be asked to send money to an out-of-state address to "release" your claim.

Please SHARE this post to help protect your friends and family!

Did you know Tennessee law defines a work injury as more than just a sudden accident? It can also include cumulative trauma, like carpal tunnel, and even certain mental injuries caused by a sudden, unexpected event at work. Work injuries aren’t always obvious, but they're still covered when they meet the legal definition.
