deliver a response within thirty (30) days of the date of the Certificate of Mailing attached to this
Order, your claim will be automatically closed. Your written response must be filed with the
Director, at the Division of Workers’ Compensation, 633 17

employer, the insurer (such as medical benefits after maximum medical improvement), or which
have been ordered by an Administrative Law Judge.
4) If your case is closed after 30 days, you have the right to petition to reopen your claim, subject to
the provisions of § 8-43-303 C.R.S.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED: That if a response has not already been submitted or is not mailed or
