All City University of New York employees are covered
by Workers' Compensation benefits. Full-time as well as part-time employees
are covered regardless of permanency or tenure status, and regardless
of civil service classification.
Please be aware that students, visitors, passers-by,
vendors, children, spouses, and other relatives or family members are
not covered through CUNY for Workers' Compensation benefits because such
persons are not CUNY employees.
The New York City Law Department, Workers' Compensation
Division, serves as the insurance carrier for CUNY.
Please follow these procedures for Workers' Compensation Benefits
- Your Supervisor
- The Health Services Office (Room A-108/Extension 5684)

You should report to the Health Services Office for an examination of your injury.
Health Services will send a report of your injury to the Human Resources Office.
Please visit the Human Resources Office (A-201) as soon as possible to provide
additional information which will enable us to file the appropriate forms with our
insurance carrier, The Workers' Compensation Division of the Law Department of the
City of New York.
You will be informed by the Workers' Compensation
Division whether your case has been accepted or rejected. The Workers'
Compensation Division will assign you a Carrier Case number. As
soon as you receive the case number, please notify the Office of
