§  364.  Payment  of  both  pensions  for  accident and other benefits
  prohibited. a. If any benefits under the workers' compensation  law  may
  be  or  become  payable  as  the  result  of  accidental  disability  or
  accidental death, no payment of any benefit shall be  made  pursuant  to
  this  article  on  account of such disability or death until there shall
  have been a final determination of the claim for  workers'  compensation
  benefits. Pending such final determination, however, the comptroller may
  authorize  payment of all or any part of the benefits payable under this
  chapter, and in that event, shall be entitled to  reimbursement  out  of
  the  unpaid  installment  or  installments of compensation due under the
  workers' compensation law provided that claim therefor is filed pursuant
  to the provisions of such law. Any pension,  payable  pursuant  to  this
  article  on account of any such disability or death, shall be reduced by

  concurrent workers' compensation benefits.

  reduced by the amount of the lump sum workers' compensation benefits. In
  such  case  the  pension  thereafter  payable  shall  be  the  actuarial
  equivalent of the pension reserve as so reduced.
No  such  reduction shall be made, however, for the amount of medical,
  surgical, or other attendance or treatment, nurse and hospital  service,
  medicine,  crutches  or  apparatus  and  of any funeral expense provided
  under the workers' compensation law in addition to regular  compensation
  benefits,  or  of any legal fees awarded under the workers' compensation
  law.
b. A final determination of the state workers' compensation board that
  benefits are payable pursuant to the workers' compensation law by reason
  of the accidental disability or accidental death  of  a  member  of  the
  police  and  fire  retirement  system  shall  not  in any respect be, or
  constitute, a determination that  an  accidental  disability  retirement
  allowance,  a disability incurred in performance of duty allowance or an
  accidental death benefit is payable on account thereof pursuant  to  the
  provisions of this article.
