111.1 [REPEALED]

111.2 The final determination on entitlement to COP rests with the Program.

111.3 Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to preclude the Program from controverting COP independent of the employing agency’s action or inaction.

111.4 COP shall continue for twenty-one (21) days (unless the employee is hired before January 1, 1980, then forty-five (45) days), unless the claim for COP is controverted, or the claim for compensation is accepted or denied by the Program.

111.5 The employing agency and/or Program’s decision not to controvert COP and the Program’s decision not to uphold controversion does not create a presumption, nor shall it be evidence that the injury is compensable under this chapter or the Act.
