New York State Disability Insurance
Our service sets us apart
New York State short-term disability insurance, also known as New York Disability Benefits Law coverage, is mandatory insurance coverage for employees who are ill, injured (except when injured on the job) or have just given birth or adopted or fostered a child within the past 12 months.
When insurance is purchased through the New York State Insurance Fund, employees receive a maximum of $170 a week for 26 weeks, beginning one week after filing their claim. If you’re an insurance agent offering statutory disability in the state of New York, you have probably written many of these policies. You may not think there’s much of a difference in your choice of carrier if your clients choose the New York State minimum plan under Disability Benefits Law. But that’s just not true.
If you are writing your customers' DBL through NYSIF, you are missing out on two key elements – personalized service and commission. When you write your customers’ DBL policies through a private carrier, you can offer enriched benefits to give employees more than the state minimum $170 per week, personalized service, and a choice of top carriers in New York State.
Additionally, when you purchase DBL coverage through other general agencies, your company name and code number are missing from the application, and policy ownership is not recognized by the insurance carrier. You may not even receive specific information about the policy that would permit you to serve your clients better. With The DBL Center you can expect a different kind of experience.
