2021 New York Laws WKC - Workers' Compensation Article 6 - State Insurance Fund. 88 - Administration Expenses.

* §  88.  Administration expenses. The entire expense of administering   the state insurance fund shall be paid out of such fund. The portion  of   such  expenses applicable and chargeable to the disability benefits fund   and the medical and hospital malpractice fund shall be determined on  an   equitable  basis  with  due  allowance  for  the  division  of  overhead   expenses. Not later than the  first  day  of  November  there  shall  be   submitted  to  the  director of the budget for his approval an estimated   budget of expenditures for  the  succeeding  calendar  year  having  due   regard  to  the business interests and contract obligations of the fund.   There may not be expended for the state insurance fund for  purposes  of   administration  more  than the amounts specified in such budget for each   item of expenditure, except as authorized by the director of the budget.   In no case shall the amount of expenditures so authorized for an  entire   year  for  workers' compensation insurance exceed twenty-five per centum   of the earned premiums for such insurance for  that  year.  In  no  case   shall  the amount of expenditures authorized for the disability benefits   fund for an entire year exceed twenty-five per centum  of  the  premiums   earned  by  that  fund.  In  no  case  shall  the amount of expenditures   authorized for the medical and hospital malpractice fund for  an  entire   year  exceed twenty-five per centum of the premiums earned by that fund.   If there be officers or employees of the department whose duties  relate   partly  to  the general work of the department and partly to the work of   the state insurance fund, and in case there is other  expense  which  is   incurred jointly on behalf of the general work of the department and the   state insurance fund, an equitable apportionment of the expense shall be   made  and  the  part  thereof which is applicable to the state insurance   fund shall be chargeable thereto. The  expenses  of  the  department  of   audit   and  control  incurred  in  connection  with  the  pre-audit  of   expenditures of the state insurance fund, as  required  by  section  one   hundred  eleven  of the state finance law, shall be a charge against and   be paid out of the moneys of the state insurance fund and there shall be   included in the annual estimate submitted pursuant to  this  section  an   amount  sufficient  to  pay such expenses for the period covered by such   estimate. Notwithstanding section four of the  state  finance  law,  the   state  comptroller  is authorized to process or approve payments related   to business taxes, various workers' compensation board  assessments  and   assessments  related  to the workers' compensation rating board directly   from the fund's accounts without explicit appropriation  authority.  The   commissioner  of  labor  shall  include  in  his  annual  report  to the   legislature a statement of the  commissioners  showing  the  expense  of   administering the state fund for the preceding year. All appointments to   positions  in  the  state  insurance fund shall be made subject to civil   service requirements.* NB There are 2 § 88's
