Original signature requirement
COVID-19 response: original signature requirement relief – March 2020
The Workers' Compensation Board does not normally accept a claimant's electronic signature on Board-prescribed forms. Due to recent increases in COVID-19 infection rates across New York State, however, as of August 16, 2021, the Emergency Relief from Signature Requirements on Listed Documents will remain in effect until further notice for the forms specifically listed in the Board's announcement: Emergency Relief from Original Signature Requirements on Listed Documents.
The Board, as standard practice, does not accept electronic signatures on Board-prescribed forms, as the Board is unable to efficiently evaluate the electronic signature process used by an insurer, health care provider, attorney, or licensed representative to ensure that the procedure complies with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (ESRA) and applicable regulations. Therefore, a claimant's ink signature must be supplied when a claimant's signature is required by law.
