New York S06376 prohibits insurance carriers and employers from withholding benefits from injured workers based on claims they have voluntarily.

New York S06376 amends the workers' compensation law to ensure that insurance carriers and employers cannot withhold benefits from injured workers who have not sought alternate employment that their injury or illness does not preclude them from performing. The bill adds a provision stating that benefits or compensation due shall not be withheld, diminished, or conditioned upon an injured worker's demonstration of attachment to the labor market. This change aims to protect injured workers' rights to compensation without the requirement to prove ongoing attachment to the labor market.
