Business Meeting

The next Business Meeting of the Maine Workers’ Compensation Board of Directors will be held Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.  The meeting will be conducted via Teams and in person at the Workers’ Compensation Board’s Augusta Central Office located at 442 Civic Center Drive, Suite 100, Augusta, Maine.

After the Board meeting, at approximately 10:45 the Board of Directors will conduct a hearing to review the procedural posture of the Petition for Extension of Benefits Due to Extreme Financial Hardship Pursuant to 39-A MRSA § 213 (1) (C) in the case of Glenda Charles v. Maine Staffing Services, LLC/Next Level Admin, DOI: 08/18/2022, WCB-213-25-03 (EOB).  The issue that will be considered is whether Ms. Charles has received the required 624 weeks of benefits under §213(1)(C) to make the petition ripe for adjudication by the Board of Directors, and, if it is not ripe, whether dismissal is appropriate. The parties may attend and present arguments.
