New NYSIF Report: Long Covid
NYSIF has released a report analyzing its Covid-19 workers' compensation claims to shine a light on Long Covid, a multifaceted syndrome causing new, returning, or ongoing symptoms in people after their initial infection.
"As a large insurer with a public purpose, NYSIF is uniquely positioned to leverage its data to inform the broader conversation on Long Covid, including its ongoing, cascading, and yet-unclear implications for employers and the workforce," said NYSIF Executive Director and CEO Gaurav Vasisht.
An article by the New York Times, published January 24, 2023, further quoted Mr. Vasisht: “The longer you’re out of work, the harder it is for you to get back to work, and that can stigmatize patients. It could be highly disruptive to their family and professional lives.”

NYSIF to Assist Licensed Cannabis Businesses With Insurance Needs
The NYS Office of Cannabis Management announced that the State will begin a campaign to assist hundreds of established and emerging New York businesses that have been licensed to participate in the state’s legalized, recreational cannabis market. The campaign, led by NYSIF, will help these companies fulfill their workers’ compensation, disability, and paid family leave requirements, and ensure that their workers are fully protected if they are injured on or off the job. Companies may qualify for upfront premium discounts and may also be eligible to join NYSIF’s safety group program for additional savings.
