NY State Mandated
Short Term Disability
insurance coverage
information in more
detail.
New York employers may
satisfy this state mandate to
make short term disability
insurance coverage
available to their employees
in one of two ways:

1. Use an insurance
company to provide the
disability insurance
coverage to their
employees

2. Establish a "Private",
self-insured disability
benefits law plan
If an employer chooses to
have their employees
participate in an insured
plan, the insured plan must
offer at least the minimum
benefits dictated by the
New York Disability Benefits
Law. Employees must pay
the required contributions to
the plan (unless the
employer assumes that
obligation) and also pay any
additional insurance
premium that may be
required by the insurance
company to pay for incurred
claims expenses or
insurance company
administration costs.
