Social Security Covered Compensation
Employing off the books; the art of getting around workers' comp
Murtagh paid a visit to the Sullivan County Legislature on August 4, and listed various reasons that employment laws should be enforced. Murtagh, who has three year-round employees, pays their workers’ compensation, half of their social security, Medicare, unemployment insurance and New York State Disability Insurance. His employees pay federal and state taxes, social security and Medicare.
Contractors who don’t pay these various state and federal costs can charge lower rates for work, and make it hard for the contractors who do work by the rules to survive.
There was a suggestion that the county could set up a registry where contractors who provide proof that they carry all the necessary coverage could be included, thus the public would know which contractors are abiding by NYS employment rules.
Legislator Alan Sorensen said he thought the idea of a countywide registry was a good one. He said, “If there are that many people not paying into the system, it’s that much more of a burden on the rest of us.”
County chairman Jonathan Rouis, however, said that perhaps the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce or some other business group would better handle a registry. He said, “The issue for the county is manpower.”
A group of contractors was formed three years ago to examine the issue. Because of numerous consumer complaints about unscrupulous contractors, then district attorney Steve Lungen called for the licensing of all contractors in Sullivan County. The chamber responded by setting up a Contractors Initiative Board (CIB) made up of 23 contractors, including electricians, plumbers and builders, and including such well-known companies as Mountain Construction, Werlau Construction and Catskill Farms.
Murtagh’s position is that enforcement of the state laws should begin with the code enforcement officers (CEO) or building inspectors of the various towns and villages in the county, because for most construction work, such as new buildings or expansions or decks, a permit is required. By state law, permits are not supposed to be issued unless the contractor supplies either a workers’ compensation certificate, a letter of exemption or documents showing the work is being done by the homeowner.

Social Security disability attorneys or representatives are often not familiar with some of the civil rights laws and other remedies which may be available to their clients, beyond, or in lieu of, Social Security disability benefits, and which may result in additional or alternative sources of financial proceeds for their clients. Also, as Social Security disability claims have greatly increased due to the lagging economy, client advocates may encounter many persons who will not meet the stringent Social Security disability standards, but may be able to qualify for other relief. This article will explore some of these laws and remedies. Due to the complexity of some of the remedies and the intricate interaction between them, which often require balancing and negotiation, it will be beneficial to client advocates to establish a relationship with one or more attorneys who practice in the areas of law noted below if they do not, in order to determine if other remedies may exist for their clients. As many of these additional remedies have stringent time deadlines, inquiries should be made as quickly as possible to other counsel as to whether a client has additional remedies and the viability of pursuing them. Indeed, failure of an attorney or a representative to consider these remedies may be the source of a professional liability issue depending on the outcome of a client's case. An applicant for Social Security disability benefits frequently has a history, such as his medical conditions or work history, which has brought him to the position of applying for this type of benefit, which requires that he is deemed unable to perform substantial gainful work for a minimum of twelve (12) months or he has a condition that will result in death. That history often involves his employment situation and the nature of that situation can serve as the basis for additional remedies.
