We Fought for Our Residents and Fellows . . . And Won!

Thanks to the initiative of the NYSNS Board, medical residents and students are now included in the Healthcare Worker Bonus (HWB) Program. NYSNS asked for a cooperative effort around the State, and organized medicine made sure that our legislators heard. Now it’s time to learn more about the program HERE. A webinar on the topic is available HERE. The qualifying resident/fellow must work for a qualified employer, be in an eligible title listed, and receive an annual base salary of $125,000 or less (excluding any bonus or overtime pay paid by the employer). There are other qualifications too. There is also an email address (NYSWorkersBonus@health.ny.gov) and call center at (866) 682–0077. Review the Frequently Asked Questions regarding the HWB Program for the latest information.
