Workers’ compensation requirements are covered by WCL Section 57, while disability benefits are covered by WCL Section 220(8). The Workers’ Compensation Benefits clause in Appendix A – STANDARD CLAUSES FOR NEW YORK STATE CONTRACTS states that in accordance with Section 142 of the State Finance Law, a contract shall be void and of no force and effect unless the contractor provides and maintains coverage during the life of the contract for the benefit of such employees as are required to be covered by the provisions of the WCL. Under provisions of the 2007 Workers’ Compensation Reform Legislation (WCL Section 141-b), any person, or entity substantially owned by that person: subject to a final assessment of civil fines or penalties, subject to a stop-work order, or convicted of a misdemeanor for violation of Workers’ Compensation laws Section 52 or 131, is barred from bidding on, or being awarded, any public work contract or subcontract with the State, any municipal corporation or public body for one year for each violation. The ban is five years for each felony conviction. PROOF OF COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS The Workers’ Compensation Board has developed several forms to assist State contracting entities in ensuring that businesses have the appropriate workers’ compensation and disability insurance coverage as required by Sections 57 and 220(8) of the WCL. Please note – an ACORD form is not acceptable proof of workers’ compensation or disability benefits insurance coverage. Proof of Workers’ Compensation Coverage To comply with coverage provisions of the WCL, the Workers’ Compensation Board requires that a business seeking to enter into a State contract submit appropriate proof of coverage to the State contracting entity issuing the contract. For each new contract or contract renewal, the contracting entity must obtain ONE of the following forms from the contractor and submit to OSC to prove the contractor has appropriate workers’ compensation insurance coverage: Form C-105.2 – Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Insurance issued by private insurance carriers, or Form U-26.3 issued by the State Insurance Fund; or Form SI-12– Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Self-Insurance; or Form Certificate of Participation in Workers’ Compensation Group Self-Insurance; or CE-200– Certificate of Attestation of Exemption from NYS Workers’ Compensation and/or Disability Benefits Coverage.
