S 3955 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to notification in the case of a change to a workers' compensation claims representative

This bill requires insurance carriers and self-insured employers to notify injured workers (or their legal representatives) when a claims representative is replaced or no longer needed for workers' compensation claims. It mandates written notice within 14 business days - via email or certified mail - providing the new representative's name and contact details. The law applies specifically to workers receiving benefits under the state's workers' compensation system, ensuring they are informed of changes affecting their claim handling. This standardizes communication to prevent confusion during claim processing.
