Inquiry By Social Security Number

The State of California EDEX system supports queries of the official database of workers' compensation cases by social security number (SSN) of the applicants.

All cases associated with the SSN provided will be identified and returned to the subscriber placing the inquiry. The subscriber will receive:

• All WCAB case numbers
• WCAB venue
• Gender and date of birth
• Date of injury
• Type of injury
• Part of body injured
• Five most recent case events
• Case status
• Official party list (including lien claimants if desired)

WCAB case events referred to above include 56 different significant case activities tracked by the WCAB. These events are recorded in the WCAB database by the WCAB staff as they occur. (e.g. declaration of readiness filed; order approving compromise and release issued; petition for reconsideration filed, etc.)

CompData application software displays the WCAB case information in a format permitting a view of each case individually or by report including details of all cases associated with a specific applicant.
