Document:
WCL §57 and §220 require the heads of all municipal and State entities to ensure that businesses applying for permits, licenses or contracts have appropriate workers' compensation and disability benefits insurance coverages. This requirement applies to both original issuances and renewals, and also applies whether the governmental agency is having the work done or is simply issuing the permit, license or contract.
Ensuring that businesses receiving permits, licenses or contracts from municipal and State agencies, comply with the WCL protects both injured workers and employers. In addition, such oversight helps to level the playing field, by strictly enforcing the requirement that all businesses maintain mandatory insurance coverages. Municipal and State agency cooperation in enforcing WCL §57 and §220 is a critical component of encouraging business compliance.
§57 of the WCL requires the heads of all State and municipal entities, prior to issuing any permits, licenses or entering into contracts, to ensure that businesses applying for those permits, licenses or entering into contracts have appropriate workers' compensation insurance coverage.
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).
The certificate of exemption, Form CE-200 must only be used to show a government agency that the business is not required to obtain New York State workers' compensation and/or disability benefits insurance. Form CE-200 may not be used to "prove exemption" from workers' compensation and/or disability benefits insurance to another business or that business's insurance carrier.
