What is a WID number?

The Workers' Identification Number DLI assigns to your claim. Campus uses it instead of your Social Security number. It is not the same as the insurer's claim number.

Can I file an objection after a NOID in Campus?

Many dispute filings now go through Campus, including a request for an administrative conference under Minn. Stat. § 176.239 after a NOID. If you cannot get in, call the DLI help desk the same day. The deadline does not wait for a login problem.

Do I have to use Campus?

You should, because that is where the official file lives. If you are unrepresented and cannot register, the DLI help desk can still help you get documents and file on time.

Q: What is Work Comp Campus?

Minnesota DLI's electronic workers' compensation system. Insurers, attorneys, and the state file claim documents there. An injured worker can register and view their own file.

Work Comp Campus is the Department of Labor and Industry's online claim file. How to register, why you need a WID number, and what you can see or file there.

Work Comp Campus is the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry electronic claim system. Since late 2020, most workers' compensation filings that used to travel on paper go through it: First Reports of Injury, NOIDs, rehabilitation forms, dispute requests, and the documents the judge will later read.

It is not the insurer's website. The adjuster's portal and Campus are different files. Campus is the state's copy.

How to get in

Register on the Campus site. You will need an email address and your WID number (Workers' Identification Number). DLI assigns the WID when the First Report of Injury is filed. It is the number that appears on state-generated papers about your claim.

If you do not have a WID, call DLI and ask. Give them your name, date of injury, and employer. Do not wait for the insurer to mail one.

The insurer's claim number is a different identifier. Campus will not find you with that number alone.

What you can see

Once your account is linked to the claim, the file usually includes:

the First Report of Injury,
notices the insurer filed (including a NOID),
rehabilitation forms,
dispute filings, including a Claim Petition if one exists.

Download PDFs. Do not assume the adjuster sent you every page that is already in Campus.

What you can file

Unrepresented workers can file some requests in Campus: objections, requests for assistance, and other dispute papers the form list covers. Represented workers' attorneys file there as a matter of course.

If login fails and a deadline is running (a NOID window is the common one), call the DLI help desk the same day. A broken password is not an extension. If a NOID is in the file, call me at (651) 283-8747 the same day and I will file the objection. If a NOID is in the file, call me at (651) 283-8747 the same day and I will file the objection.

What Campus does not do

Campus does not decide your claim. It stores the papers. It also does not replace notice to your employer. Reporting the injury is still Minn. Stat. § 176.141. See how long you have to report.
