Statutory text current through the text effective June 30, 2026 (through the 2025 Regular Session). This publication reproduces the official statutory text; it is not the official statutes of the State of South Dakota.
If a claimant disagrees with an order entered by the department, the claimant, within fifteen days from the date of service of the order, may request a review of the claim by the commission. A request for review shall be in writing in a form prescribed by the commission. Upon receipt of a request for review, the commission shall treat the department order as a recommendation by the department and shall hold a hearing to decide the claim. The hearing shall be held upon at least thirty days notice to the claimant and any other interested persons. The commission shall consider the order of the department and any objections to the order by the claimant. In addition, the commission may subpoena persons or documents, administer oaths or affirmations, and receive any additional relevant evidence which the commission deems necessary to decide the compensability of the claim. Based upon evidence presented at the hearing, the commission may adopt, modify, or reject the order of the department. A record of all proceedings at the hearing shall be kept. Any hearing held pursuant to this section may not be deemed a contested case hearing and the provisions of §§ 1-26-16 to 1-26-37, inclusive, governing contested cases and appeals therefrom do not apply. However, the commission shall adopt procedural rules pursuant to chapter 1-26 governing hearings held pursuant to this section. If no request for review is received within fifteen days, the department order shall become final with no further action by the commission and compensation shall be paid in accordance therewith.
