The growing season in New York often brings migrant farm workers to New York who may perform similar work in other states during the course of the year. Even if a worker’s home is in another state or country and he or she may have originally been hired in another state, if an injury or illness occurs while working in New York the benefits of the New York WCL may be available.
Workers’ Compensation benefits in New York are available to non-citizens regardless of the injured person’s lawful immigration status, and an injured worker’s undocumented alien status does not in and of itself prohibit receipt of New York Workers’ Compensation benefits.
Workers’ Compensation benefits include payment of expenses for necessary medical treatment, wage loss benefits for time that is missed from work due to the injury or illness, and in cases where the injury or condition has resulted in a permanent impairment, an award for schedule loss of use or ongoing permanent partial or total disability benefits. Workers’ Compensation death benefits are available to certain dependents and survivors of a person who dies as a result of a work-related accident or illness.
