Which agency oversees the workers' compensation claims in Oklahoma?

The Oklahoma Workers Compensation Commission is the agency that oversees workers' compensation claims in Oklahoma. This commission is responsible for the administration of the workers' compensation system, including the processing of claims and the adjudication of disputes between injured workers and employers or their insurance carriers. It provides a structured framework for resolving work-related injury claims and ensures that injured employees receive the benefits they are entitled to under Oklahoma law.

This focus on the Workers Compensation Commission distinguishes it from other agencies. The Oklahoma Department of Labor primarily deals with labor standards and wage laws rather than directly handling workers' compensation claims. The Oklahoma Healthcare Authority focuses on health care services and Medicaid, which are not directly related to workers' compensation. Similarly, the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission deals with unemployment insurance and employment-related matters, but not specifically with workers' compensation. Thus, the primary role of overseeing and managing workers' compensation in Oklahoma falls to the Workers Compensation Commission.
