We received word from Elizabeth Crum, Director of Adjudication for the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation that two Workers’ Compensation Judges (WCJs) will be assigned to different hearing offices shortly after the new year. WCJ Michael Hetrick, formerly with the Lancaster hearing office in the Eastern District, will be transferred to the Pottsville hearing office (in the Central District). Then, from the Pottsville hearing office, WCJ Nathan Pogirski will be going to the Reading hearing office (Eastern District).
We wish these Judges a smooth transition and good luck in their new surroundings.
