Provides for the enrollment of certain persons in direct deposit for compensation payments

Summary

The bill changes New York workers' compensation law so injured workers and death‑benefit recipients must be offered direct‑deposit payments, with notice and enrollment instructions. It also lets the Workers' Compensation Board set rules, allows split deposits, and imposes penalties on employers or insurers that fail to enroll a request within 25 days. The goal is faster, more reliable benefit delivery.
