Starting June 5: WCB hearings assigned to Saranac Lake now assigned to Plattsburgh

Starting June 5: WCB hearings assigned to Saranac Lake now assigned to Plattsburgh

Effective June 5, the Plattsburgh hearing center will serve as the assigned Board location for hearings that would have been scheduled in Saranac Lake, and the Saranac Lake office will close. Hearing notices will start to reflect the Plattsburgh location on May 15, three weeks ahead of this change.

Hearings remain remote-only

Although we are consolidating these hearing centers now, Plattsburgh and all other Board locations currently remain closed to the public. Until the Board announces otherwise, all workers’ compensation hearings will continue to be held remotely using virtual hearings. When the customer service centers reopen, injured workers, attorneys, and other hearing participants will still be able to choose to attend their hearings remotely using virtual hearings.
