Maryland Request for Final Waiver of Open Costs is a form issued by the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation that allows employers to request a waiver of open costs for workers’ compensation claims after a settlement has been reached. This form is utilized when an employer has paid compensation benefits to an injured employee and there are remaining open costs that have not been paid. The form requests information from the employer, including the employer’s name and contact information, the claim number, and the amount of the open costs. There are two types of Maryland Request for Final Waiver of Open Costs: a Final Waiver of Open Costs and a Partial Waiver of Open Costs. The Final Waiver of Open Costs is used when the employer agrees to waive all the remaining open costs associated with the claim. The Partial Waiver of Open Costs is used when the employer agrees to waive only a portion of the remaining open costs. The employer must specify the amount of the partial waiver and provide documentation to support the partial waiver.
