The new rate represents a 12.5 percent premium rate decrease for male employees and a 56 percent decrease for female employees.

The NYSIF disability benefits standard premium rate for New York State coverage on new or renewing policies effective January 1, 2010 is now gender neutral of payroll for both male and female employees. The new standard premium rate will be the lowest NYSIF disability benefits rate in more than 20 years.

For additional premium savings, NYSIF will continue to offer the Premium Adjustment Plan for policyholders with over $1,000 in annual premium.  The Premium Adjustment Plan rewards policyholders with an annual premium credit when yearly claims are less than 80 percent of the reported annual premium.
