New York: Remand Necessary to Determine Potential Liability of Uninsured Employers Fund

March 07, 2021 (1 min read)

Where a New York employer had no active workers’ compensation policy in effect on the date the claimant was determined to have been disabled due to an occupational disease—It appeared to have closed its doors—but such a policy did exist on the date the claimant retired, remand was necessary to determine if the insurer should be responsible for payment of benefits or, alternatively, if those benefits should be paid by the Uninsured Employers Fund.
