Minimum weekly pay for New Yorkers who receive workers' compensation benefits will increase under a new state law set to go into effect next year.
Under the Workers' Compensation Benefit Modernization Act, signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul earlier this month, recipients on the lowest end of the wage scale will see weekly minimum benefits increase from $150 to $275 on Jan. 1, and then increase again to $325 in 2025.
