On March 7, 2020, Governor Andrew Cuomo issued Executive Order 202,
declaring a disaster emergency in the State of New York in response to
the threat posed to the health and welfare of its citizens and visitors
by the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, outbreak.
As an overarching precaution, in line with recommendations by the
Governor and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on social
distancing as a preventative tool, the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board
(Board) encourages those who need to contact the Board to do so via
phone, email and/or your attorney if applicable, limiting any in-person
visits to Board offices. Please see the Board’s Contact Us webpage for location and service-specific contact information.
As a result of the issuance of this Executive Order, and the impact
that this health crisis is expected to have on the adjudication of
ongoing workers' compensation claims, the Board is issuing the following
guidance to assist its stakeholders.
