(1) that the employee has earned less than 80 percent of the employee's average weekly wage as a direct result of the employee's impairment;
(2) the amount of wages the employee earned in the filing period provided by Subsection (b); and
(3) that the employee has complied with the requirements adopted under Section 408.1415.
(b) The statement required under this section must be filed quarterly on a form and in the manner provided by the commissioner. The commissioner may modify the filing period as appropriate to an individual case.
