        "description": "Yes, in Utah you have 180 days to report, but report immediately to avoid disqualification and ensure timely processing.[1] Delays can weaken claims if evidence fades.[2] Key factors: Employer reports to insurer in 7 days; doctor submits Form 123 in 7 days; get copies for your records.[1] Notify supervisor or HR in writing, seek treatment, and track symptoms.[1][2] Early reporting safeguards your rights to medical care and disability pay.[2]"
