Connecticut General Statutes Title 31. Labor § 31-323. Attachments to secure payment of compensation

When any person presents in writing to the administrative law judge a claim for compensation, either for injury sustained by such person arising out of and in the course of his or her employment or for injury resulting in the death of some person of whom such person is an alleged dependent, or when it appears to the administrative law judge that the claim may require payment from the Second Injury Fund, such person or the Second Injury Fund, as the case may be, may ask that a writ of attachment issue to secure the payment of the claim or claims for compensation or for reimbursement for payments made or to be made by the Second Injury Fund. Unless it appears from the records of the administrative law judge that there has been a compliance with the provisions of section 31-284, which compliance is then effective, or that the Insurance Commissioner has approved a substitute system of compensation, benefit and insurance, the administrative law judge may issue a writ of attachment in the manner and form of writs of attachment in civil actions and shall be vested with the same jurisdiction as authorities authorized to issue writs of attachment in civil actions. If a writ is issued under this section and thereafter it appears to the satisfaction of the administrative law judge that there has been a compliance with the provisions of section 31-284, which compliance was then effective and applicable to the injury in question, or that the Insurance Commissioner has approved a substitute system of compensation, benefit and insurance, the administrative law judge may vacate the writ of attachment on the payment by the employer of the expense actually incurred under such writ of attachment. The administrative law judge are vested with the authority of the various courts to dissolve attachments made under this section and, on the dissolution of an attachment, may require the substitution of a bond in the same manner as any court upon the dissolution of attachments in civil actions.
