The City of New York is a self-insurer of its workers’ compensation obligations pertaining to all covered City employees. City employees are covered for workers’ compensation (with the exception of uniformed police officers, firefighters and uniformed sanitation workers). Also covered are all non-pedagogical employees of the Department of Education and all employees of the Health and Hospitals Corporation and the City University. The Workers’ Compensation Division of the Law Department administers the claims of all covered employees who are injured on the job or incur an occupational disease; while the Comptroller’s Office Bureau of Accountancy Workers’ Compensation Unit monitors the payment process, which includes check cancellations, requests for reissuance and EFT enrollment validation.
