Don’t Forget to Check the Mail!

With all the holiday excitement, shopping rush, last minute work items and meetings, it is easy to forget to check the mail before you leave and most importantly, during the break! State agencies such as the Texas Workforce Commission and Division of Workers' Compensation can deliver time sensitive notices and forms that require action from your district. If you wait to respond after the holidays, you may be subject to a penalty or waive important rights to contest benefits. State agencies do not have the same work schedules as school districts during the  holidays. So make sure someone can take a few minutes each day to check the mail!
