• During this very trying time the NY Alliance is committed to providing our members with many different forms of support. To that end, earlier today we shared several mental health resources in a newsletter linked here.

• Governor Cuomo issued Executive Order 202.27 on Tuesday which allows for a 30 day extension of the practice of a profession in the state of New York without a current New York State licensure, or registration, including but not limited to those individuals who are validly licensed in another state or Canada. This will allow those professionals the ability to continue to provide services necessary for the State’s Covid-19 response. A copy of the Executive Order can be found here.

• Some of our members have been able to save money on their workers compensation insurance by switching to a specialized work from home code which is 8873 and reserved for workers temporarily assigned to work at home. Please contact your individual insurance carrier to see if this is applicable to your agency and whether you can apply it to your staff who are currently working remotely.
