New Mailing Address for Downstate Comp Claims
As part of the New York State Workers' Compensation Board's ongoing effort to improve services, increase efficiency and limit costs, a new centralized mailing address for all mail related to workers' compensation claims has been established. This PO address is in close proximity to the Board's mail scanning facility in Binghamton, NY.
To help the Board improve its efficiency, effective September 8, 2003, all insurers, attorneys, licensed representatives and health care providers involved with claims being processed in New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam or Orange Counties must direct all claims-related mail correspondence to the following centralized address. Failure to do so could result in unnecessary delays in processing of claims
New York
State Workers' Compensation Board
PO Box 5205
Binghamton, NY 13902
All non-claims related mail should be sent to the appropriate department or office.
