Uniform assigned names (UAN)
Uniform assigned names are created and assigned by the DWC to associate related parties to their cases. Currently only claims administrators or representatives in a case are given uniform assigned names. However, anyone filing a form in EAMS—be they an injured worker, a claims administrator, an attorney, a lien claimant or other—will need to use the uniform assigned name to identify the claims administrator or representative in the case for which they are filing.
