How We Calculate Benefits Under These Rules When this plan is secondary, it may reduce its benefits so that the total benefits paid or provided by all plans are not more than the total allowable expenses. In determining the amount to be paid for any claim, the secondary plan will calculate the benefits it would have paid in the absence of other healthcare coverage and apply that calculated amount to any allowable expense under its plan that is unpaid by the primary plan. The secondary plan may then reduce its payment by the amount so that, when combined with the amount paid by the primary plan, the total benefits paid or provided by all plans for the claim do not exceed the total allowable expense for that claim. In addition, the secondary plan shall credit to its plan deductible any amounts it would have credited to its deductible in the absence of other healthcare coverage.

’ Compensation Insurance and Disability Benefits Requirements New York State Workers’ Compensation Law (WCL) §57 & §220 requires the heads of all municipal and state entities to ensure that businesses applying for permits, licenses or contracts, document that they have appropriate workers’ compensation and disability benefits insurance coverage. These requirements apply to both original contracts and renewals, whether the governmental agency is having the work done or is simply issuing the permit, license or contract. Failure to provide proof of such coverage or a legal exemption will result in a rejection of a Vendor Submission or renewal. A Vendor may not be awarded a Contract unless proof of workers’ compensation and disability insurance is provided to OGS.
1. Proof of Compliance with Workers’ Compensation Coverage Requirements: An XXXXX form (certificate of insurance) is NOT acceptable proof of workers’ compensation coverage. In order to provide proof of compliance with the requirements of the Workers’ Compensation Law pertaining to workers’ compensation coverage, a Vendor/Contractor shall:
a) Be legally exempt from obtaining Workers’ Compensation insurance coverage; or
b) Obtain such coverage from an insurance carrier; or
c) Be a Workers’ Compensation Board-approved self-insured employer or participate in an authorized self-insurance plan.
A Vendor seeking to enter into a Contract with the State of New York shall provide one of the following forms to OGS at the time of Vendor Submission, and thereafter, within three (3) days of request:
a) Form CE-200, Certificate of Attestation for New York Entities With No Employees and Certain Out of State Entities, That New York State Workers’ Compensation and/or Disability Benefits Insurance Coverage is Not Required, which is available on the Workers’ Compensation Board’s website (xxx.xxx.xx.xxx); (Reference applicable Solicitation and Group #s on the form.);
b) Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Insurance: i) Form C-105.2 (9/07) if coverage is provided by the Vendor/Contractor’s insurance carrier, the Vendor/Contractor must request that its insurance carrier send this form to OGS, or ii) Form U-26.3 if coverage is provided by the State Insurance Fund, the Vendor/Contractor must request that the State Insurance Fund send this form to OGS;
c) Form SI-12, Certificate of Workers’ Compensation Self-Insurance available from the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board’s Self-Insurance Office; or
d) Form GSI-105.2, Certificate of Participation in Workers’ Compensation Group Self-Insurance available from the Vendor/Contractor’s Group Self-Insurance Administrator.
