Extended E-Filing system unavailability: Fax filings

The Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court continues to work with its vendor to resolve an issue with our E-Filing system. During this extended outage, attorneys may submit pleadings by fax with the exception of settlements. Settlements must be delivered in paper format accompanied by a paper check until the outage is resolved. For pleadings submitted by alternative means during the outage, the filer is responsible for service of the document(s) on parties entitled to service pursuant to Rule 3,B. Please contact us with any questions. This item will be updated when the E-Filing system is available again.

Extended E-Filing system unavailability

Our E-Filing system is temporarily unavailable while we investigate an ongoing connectivity issue. Thank you for your patience while we work through this. We will bring services back up as soon as possible, and will send a follow up message as soon as access is restored.

Only in the event of an extended period longer than 24 hours where the court’s E-Filing system is not available may the user file a paper document with the court clerk. The user may make such filing by fax machine (402-471-2700). In such instances, the user is responsible for service of the document(s) on parties entitled to service pursuant to Rule 3,B.
