Effective September 9, 2007, all out-of-state employers with employees or subcontractors working in New York State are required to carry a full, statutory New York State workers' compensation insurance policy.

An employer has a full, statutory New York State workers' compensation insurance policy when New York is listed in Item "3A" on the Information Page of the employer's workers' compensation insurance policy. Please contact the Board's Bureau of Compliance at 1-866-298-7830 if you have any questions regarding these requirements.

Workers' Compensation Restriction on Issuance of Government Issued Permits, Licenses and Contracts

To assist state and municipal entities in enforcing WCL §57, businesses requesting permits, licenses or seeking to enter into contracts must provide ONE of the following forms to the entity issuing the permit or entering into a contract:

• Certificate of Attestation of Exemption from NYS Workers' Compensation and/or Disability Benefits Coverage (CE-200); or
• Certificate of Workers' Compensation Insurance (C-105.2) (the business' insurance carrier will send this form to the government entity upon request) Please Note: The State Insurance Fund provides its own version of this form, the U-26.3; or
• Certificate of Worker's Compensation Self-Insurance (SI-12) (the business calls the Board's Self- Insurance Office at 518-402-0247); or
• Certificate of Group Worker's Compensation Self-Insurance (GSI-105.2) (the business' Group Self- Insurance Administrator will send this form to the government entity upon request).

Please note: Form CE-200 may be filed by out-of-state employers for a NYS workers' compensation exemption only if all work for the permit, license or contract is done outside of New York and no employees of the out-of-state business work in the state.
