The laws in New York have dramatically changed since March 2007, including benefit rate increases, but, limits on the number weeks/years you can receive wage replacement benefits. New medical treatment guidelines and permanent impairment guidelines have also been enacted and they are ever-changing.
Social Security Disability
You have paid into ‘the system’ and if you become permanently disabled, you may be entitled to these benefits.
