Relates to the notice required for the termination of temporary payments of compensation and the notice required for cessation of compensation payments

This bill amends New York's workers' compensation law to change notice requirements when employers stop paying temporary compensation or medical benefits. Employers must now provide written notice to injured workers and the workers' compensation board within 16 days after the last payment (previously 5 days), explaining the termination of payments. It also requires employers to notify the board chair within 30 days if payments cease, with a $300 penalty for late notice. These changes directly affect employers, insurance carriers, and injured workers by clarifying when and how payment stops must be communicated.
