State and Municipal Employee Disability Pension Department
Know your rights under New York State Worker's Compensation Laws
Are you a New York City employee? Do you work for the State of New York, or are you employed by a county, town or village government? Perhaps you're a Police Officer, a sanitation worker or a teacher. Maybe your job is hazardous by nature, or maybe you work in an office. Any worker can unexpectedly become disabled by an accident or sudden chronic illness.
One of the benefits of Civil Service Employment is the availability of disability pensions for workers who become disabled from work due to either an injury or sickness whether incurred on - or off - the job. Understanding New York City or New York State disability pensions is fundamental to your well-being and peace of mind; our New York disability attorneys can help you make sure that you receive the benefits you deserve.
The agencies that administer these plans don't make it easy, however. There are various types of disability pensions available to disabled workers, depending upon an employee's length of service (Tier), the manner in which the disability occurred and the type of employment engaged in. Each benefit has different proof requirements and extremely strict filing deadlines.
Our experience has shown that most workers make critical errors in the initial application process, usually before they've had a chance to get legal advice. Since 1978, Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada, P.C.'s Pension Department has successfully handled hundreds of Civil Service employee disability pension claims before both the New York City and New York State Employees' Retirement Systems. We know the law as it applies to the facts of your case; we know when you need to file and what you have to prove. We also handle administrative hearings and appeals and court proceedings.
If you are thinking of applying for a Civil Service disability pension, or if you've applied and been denied, don't waste another minute! Do yourself a favor and call us, toll free at 1.800.416.5454. Ask for our pension department. |
