New York State requires some employers to cover their employees for disability. Other employers voluntarily cover their employees under the disability benefits provisions of the New York State Workers’ Compensation Law. If the employer does not comply with the required coverage, the State has a Special Fund that pays the benefits.

The best way to get the benefits which were promised is to know what the rights are and the process by which the benefits are wrestled from the clutches of the insurance carrier. There are guidelines and rules which apply. There are also determinations that have to be made regarding the benefits. You have a voice in the process.
