Court of Appeals of New York

Workers' Compensation Law section 15(8)(f), as interpreted by the Court of Appeals, provides that the statutory 104-week time limitation for filing a notice or claim of the right to reimbursement from the Special Disability Fund does not apply to a case that has been closed without a finding of permanent disability and then reopened, even when the closure occurs more than 104 weeks after the date of disability.
