NYSIF Expands Innovative Claim Mobile App; Now Available for Disability Benefits and Paid Family Leave Claimants
2024年7月16日 - 1:27AM
The New York State Insurance Fund (NYSIF) has expanded its
NYSIF
Claim mobile app to its short-term disability (DB) and paid
family leave (PFL) claimants, allowing users to access real-time
information about DB and PFL claims. The NYSIF Claim mobile app was
designed to provide instant access to essential information about
workers’ claims and benefit payments. The app is free and available
for all employees covered by NYSIF’s workers’ compensation,
disability and paid family leave policies.
“NYSIF is deeply dedicated to improving injured workers’ lives,”
said NYSIF Executive Director and CEO Gaurav
Vasisht. “The launch of our claim mobile app strongly
reflects that commitment, and today we are pleased to expand its
capacity to include workers with short-term disability and paid
family leave claims.”
Designed based on extensive data analysis of the most common
inquiries, the new app enables NYSIF DB and PFL claimants to easily
access their claim number and status, case manager contact
information, benefit payment dates and amounts, as well as opt in
to notifications about claim payments and important dates. The app
also provides claimants with the ability to email or call their
case manager and to sign up to receive benefit payments by direct
deposit.
Disability and paid family leave claimants can download the free
NYSIF Claim Mobile App by searching NYSIF Claim in their app
stores (available for both iOS and Android devices). The app is one
of the few apps exclusively created and designed for disability
claimants.
As more customer interaction with companies moves to mobile
devices, NYSIF’s new app will facilitate these exchanges while
continuing to support current means of communications with
claimants. NYSIF has determined approximately 86% of its claimants
have access to smart phones and expects this to help injured
workers better manage their claims. NYSIF will continue unveiling
new online and technical solutions to help injured workers and
their families.
