Pennsylvania Statutes Title 77 P.S. Workers' Compensation § 774.3. Modification of compensation payments

(1) If the employe contests the averments of the insurer’s verification, a special supersedeas hearing before a workers’ compensation judge may be requested by the employe indicating by a checkoff on the notification form that the modification of benefits is being challenged and filing the notification of challenge with the department within twenty days of receipt of the notification of modification from the insurer. The special supersedeas hearing shall be held within twenty-one days of the employe’s filing of the notification of challenge.

(2) If the employe does not challenge the insurer’s notification of modification within twenty days under paragraph (1), the employe shall be deemed to have admitted to the return to work and receipt of wages at lesser earnings as alleged by the insurer. The insurer’s notification of modification shall be deemed to have the same binding effect as a fully executed supplemental agreement for the modification of benefits.
