The Workers' Compensation Board (Board) is pleased to continue its webinar series for workers and their advocates.

Workers' Comp 202 is a deeper dive into best practices workers can use to access their workers' compensation benefits. This presentation will cover:

• understanding labor market attachment,
• details on benefit periods and how benefit rates are calculated,
• the importance of items such as the degree of disability and the Carrier Continue Payments (CCP) order,
• how advocates can help workers and comply with privacy provisions,
• the Board's New York Medical Treatment Guidelines, and more!

The session is free and there will be time for your questions.
