We know that the drive to one of the Bureau’s eight regional offices can be long for some injured workers. We’re open to exploring other suggested remote locations, if you believe a critical mass exists and local officials might be welcoming. Contact jane.f.salem with suggestions on this, or any other way in which we might provide better service.

Looking forward to seeing you.
