§ 65.2-711 Reporting of address change by employee; suspension of payment of benefits
So long as an employee is entitled to payment of compensation under this title, such employee shall have a duty to disclose to the Commission his current residential address and to report any changes of address as they may occur. The failure to disclose or report such address or changes of address without reasonable justification may result in the suspension of compensation payments until the employee complies with this duty. When the Commission is properly notified of the change in the employee’s address, the Commission shall notify the employer when the employer is self-insured, or the employer’s insurer in all other cases.
History
This law was first created in 1983.

Unfortunately, the 1983 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 2 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter. Those modifications that can be read on the General Assembly’s website will be linked accordingly. Those modifications are as follows: in 1991, chapter 355; in 1996, chapter 178.
