What Are the Timely Filing Requirements for New York Workers' Comp, Disability & Unemployment Claims?

New York State imposes strict deadlines for benefit claims:

🏥 Workers' Compensation (WCB)

• Form C-3 (Employee Claim): 2 years from injury date or death
• Extensions possible via WCB application

🤕 Disability Benefits (DBL)

• Form DB-450: 30 days from disability onset
• Extensions via NYS Disability Benefits Fund

💼 Unemployment Insurance (DOL)

• Form UI-1: 7 days from job loss
• Extensions via NYS Department of Labor

Critical: These are general rules. Specific circumstances (occupational disease, latent injury, employer failure to notify) may alter deadlines. Always confirm with the relevant agency (WCB, DBL, DOL) or a qualified attorney for your situation.
