What are New Yorks DBL plan benefits?
Benefits are paid weekly, and are partially taxable (depending on the ratio of employer/employee contributions) equal to 50% of the average weekly wage of the employee over the last four weeks prior to disability with a minimum weekly benefit of $20.00 and a maximum benefit of $170.00. Benefits become payable on the eighth (8th) consecutive day of disability and last while the disability continues for up to 26 weeks.
