New York, NY, July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – The New York State Insurance Fund (NYSIF) announced the expansion of its NYSIF Claim mobile app to accommodate short-term disability (DB) and paid family leave (PFL) claimants. With this development, users can access immediate information about their DB and PFL claims. The app, which is free, is available to all workers subject to NYSIF’s workers’ compensation, disability, and paid family leave policies.

Executive Director and CEO of NYSIF, Gaurav Vasisht, expressed the organization’s commitment to improving lives of injured workers, reiterating that the launch and expansion of the claim mobile app underscores this dedication. The app provides users with easy access to essential claim details, including their claim number, status, case manager contact information and benefit payment details. Moreover, it allows workers to opt into notifications about claim payments and crucial dates.

The NYSIF Claim Mobile App is among the few apps specially created for disability claimants, and is accessible on iOS and Android devices. It enables easy exchanges between the company and the claimants, improving management of claims, especially considering 86% of NYSIF claimants have access to smart phones. Moving forward, NYSIF plans to introduce more online and technical solutions for the benefit of injured workers and their families.

NYSIF is the leading workers’ compensation insurance provider in New York and is counted among the top ten nationwide. Covering 2 million workers and insuring 200,000 employers, NYSIF’s primary mission is to ensure availability of workers’ compensation, disability insurance and paid family leave at the lowest possible cost to New York employers while maintaining a solvent fund.

Many claimants often stress over how to get a hold of Paid Family Leave for queries or concerns. However, the new flexibility offered by the NYSIF Claim mobile app reduces this stress by providing instant access to PFL claim information, direct deposit for benefits, notifications about payment dates, and contact information for case managers.
