In order to ensure optimal security for your account, CompFile now requires multifactor authentication when you sign in with your username and password. If you already have a CompFile account and have not yet set up multifactor authentication, please contact your law firm administrator. If you are your firm’s law firm administrator, you have received an email with instructions on setting up your account. Once that is complete, you are required to send new invitations to all CompFile users in your firm, including your firm’s attorneys.

Sequencing will now occur 5 calendar days prior to the call. A call sheet is “locked” once it is sequenced, and any filings made within 5 days of the call will not be assigned a sequence number.

Please note that the IWCC website link that previously displayed call sheets prior to April 21, 2021 no longer provides access to updated call sheets. To access the call sheets, click the 'Call Sheets Search' button directly above this 'News Alerts' window on this page.

Applications, motions, decisions, and reviews must now be filed through CompFile! The IWCC no longer accepts paper filings. Instructions, explanations, and how-to’s are available on the CompFile Implementation webpage, iwcc.il.gov/compfile
For support, do not hesitate to contact us via the CompFile Feedback Option, email: wcc.compfile@illinois.gov, or phone: 312-814-6611.

The New Lenox hearing site moved to Joliet effective January 1, 2021. When drafting a settlement contract, you must now select “Joliet” in the “Setting” drop-down menu for any cases previously set in New Lenox.

Due to personnel availability factors related to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, response times may be longer than usual to questions submitted via email or the CompFile “feedback” option. For those firms that are registering in the CompFile system, processes may be delayed.

Remember: CompFile invitation emails expire 5 calendar days after issuance. If you encounter an "invalid invitation code" error, please ask your Law Firm Administrator to send you a new invitation email. Also, CompFile sends all outbound emails from "WCC.NoReply@illinois.gov." Please coordinate with your I.T. staff to ensure this email address is not blocked. This is sometimes referred to as "whitelisting" an email address.
