§ 34:15-57.

Whenever an employer or his insurance carrier involved in the claim under chapter

fifteen of Title 34 of the Revised Statutes shall receive written notice from the

Division of Employment Security of the New Jersey Department of Labor and Industry

that disability benefits have been paid to an employee as a result of an accident

or sickness for which the said employee may be entitled to benefits under chapter

fifteen of Title 34 of the Revised Statutes, such employer or his insurance carrier,

as the case may be, shall, before making any payment on account of any pending award,

order, or settlement under said chapter fifteen of Title 34 of the Revised Statutes,

inquire of the employee as to whether or not he has received disability benefits by

reason of the same accident or sickness and advise the Division of Employment Security

of the New Jersey Department of Labor and Industry or the employer who made payment

of the disability benefits, or his insurance carrier, as the case may be, of the result

of such inquiry. In proceedings before the Division of Workmen's Compensation, it shall be the duty

of the employer against whom claim is made under chapter fifteen of Title 34 of the

Revised Statutes, and his insurance carrier, if any, to present, at any hearing involving

a workmen's compensation claim affected by this act, sufficient proof as to the amounts

paid under the Temporary Disability Benefits Law (P.L.1948, c. 110), 1 for which reimbursement is allowable in pursuance of the provisions of the Temporary

Disability Benefits Law (P.L.1948, c. 110), such proof to be furnished by the Division

of Employment Security of the New Jersey Department of Labor and Industry, the employer

who made payment of the disability benefits or his insurance carrier, as the case

may be. 1
