The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) encourages all WTC responders to protect their right to file for future Workers’ Compensation benefits by registering form WTC-12 with the WCB. The WCB requires this registration in order for responders to be permitted to file for Workers’ Compensation benefits in the future, regardless of whether or not they have already filed a Workers’ Compensation claim or are currently sick or well.

Responders must complete a WTC-12 form and file it with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board by September 11, 2010.

• Members who have already gone in for their initial visit for the monitoring program are now eligible for a follow-up visit every 12 months.
