NJ Short Term Disability

We have had a few issues recently with regard to employees trying to figure out how to apply for NJ Short Term Disability. New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island are the only states that require employers to have this coverage. The NJ form (WDS-1) is available from the NJ State website. This form has all the detailed instructions for the EMPLOYEE to file a claim. The 3 part form needs to be filled out by the employee, employer and doctor. Submission is required within 30 days of the disability. We will make the form available on our website you can also contact my office for the form. As with most forms that deal with claim issues timely filing is most important.
