Use terms in context
Glossary pages explain words that may appear in notices, medical reports, settlement papers, hearing orders, or attorney fee agreements.
Before you rely on a page
- Find the term in your own document.
- Ask what the term changes in your claim.
- Check whether the term has a state-specific meaning.
- Keep the full document, not only the term.

When time is short
If a notice gives a deadline or hearing date, verify the next step through an official agency or licensed attorney before waiting for more reading.
