Accidental Death Benefit through NYS

As a surviving spouse, child or dependent, you may be eligible for a $50,000 Accidental Death Benefit from the New York State Department of Civil Service if the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board determines your loved one’s death was the result of a job-related accident.

To receive this benefit, you must file a claim with the Workers’ Compensation Board District Office within two years following the date of death. More details about this benefit are available from the employer’s Personnel Office.
