New York workers' comp, inside your AI assistant.
The Hub connects an AI assistant to The Comp Desk's calculators, rate tables, Board forms, glossary, case law and doctor finder. When a question needs a figure or a citation, the assistant looks it up in the Hub. It covers New York only.
Free. The calculators, the reference tools and the doctor finder need no account. ChatGPT listing in preparation.
What is the maximum weekly rate for an injury on July 1, 2025?
New York State Workers' Compensation Hub · maximum and minimum weekly benefitFor a date of accident of July 1, 2025:
General information, not legal advice. Not a Board finding.
Illustration · the two figures are what the Hub returns for that date. An assistant's own wording will differ.
The assistant asks. The Hub answers.
An AI assistant writes well but works from memory, and its memory of New York rates and forms can be wrong. The Hub gives it a source to check.
You ask in plain words
"What does my client net on a $60,000 Section 32 with a $10,000 MSA?" You don't pick a tool or learn a command.
The assistant calls the Hub
It sends only what the calculation needs: numbers and dates. If something is missing, the Hub says what it needs and calculates nothing.
You get the figure and the steps
Each result comes back with the arithmetic laid out and the formula it used, from the same engine as The Comp Desk app and the Pro Workspace.
Seventeen calculators. One engine.
Every figure comes from calc-core, the engine behind The Comp Desk app, the calculators on this site and the Pro Workspace.
Maximum and minimum rate
The weekly maximum and minimum for a date of accident.
Weekly benefit rate
Temporary total, temporary partial or reduced earnings, within the maximum and minimum.

One or more members, with the protracted healing period, prior payments and fee.

Glossary and explainers
Approved definitions and plain-language explainers for the terms that come up in a New York claim.
Board forms

Check the numbers while you work
Run an award, a rate or a Section 32 split inside the conversation where you are already preparing the hearing.
- Every calculator and reference tool, with no account
- Pro and Firm accounts: send cases from your prep into your own Pro Workspace as finished tabs
- Pro and Firm accounts: post hearing notes you formatted in the Pro Workspace into your own case management system (beta)
Try asking"Check this Section 32: $85,000 with a $12,000 MSA and $1,500 to prior counsel."

Ask what a word on your paperwork means, what a form is for, or what the weekly maximum was on the day you were hurt.
- Free, with no account and no sign-up
- The calculators never ask for your name, case number or Social Security number
- General information only. For advice about your claim, talk to a lawyer
Try asking"I was hurt on March 3, 2025. What is the most I could be paid each week?"

One Hub. More than one assistant.
The Hub is built on the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that Claude and ChatGPT both use for connecting to outside tools.
Claude
On the web, desktop, mobile, Cowork and Claude Code. Add the Hub as a custom connector with the address below. Its listing in Claude's connector directory is in review.
ChatGPT
We are preparing the Hub's listing for ChatGPT on the same server. The tools that need no account come first; signing in to the Pro Workspace tools follows.
Codex and other MCP clients
Any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol over HTTP can connect to the address below. We have tested it in Claude; other clients are untested by us so far.
https://ltibymvlytodkemdeeox.supabase.co/functions/v1/nys-workers-comp-hub/mcp
Paste it where your assistant asks for a custom connector or a remote MCP server. No key is needed.
What it will not do.
It does not guess
If an input is missing, a calculator lists what it needs and calculates nothing.
It does not give legal advice
The Comp Desk is a software platform, not a law firm. This is general information, not legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
It does not collect your case
The calculators don't accept names, case numbers, Social Security numbers or dates of birth. We don't store calculator inputs or results, and we never see your conversation.
It does not file or send
Nothing is filed with the Board, sent to a carrier or signed. The one thing it writes goes to a signed-in attorney's own Pro Workspace, after that attorney approves it.
It does not cover other states
New York State workers' compensation only.
It is not the Board
The Hub is not affiliated with or endorsed by the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. A calculator result is not a Board finding.
How the Hub handles data is in Privacy Policy §2.7 and Terms of Use §12.
Before you add it.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The calculators, the reference tools, the doctor finder and the skills are free and need no account. The Pro Workspace and hearing-notes tools need a Comp Desk Pro or Firm attorney account.
Do I need a Comp Desk account?
No, unless you want the Pro Workspace or hearing-notes tools. The first time an assistant uses one of those, it asks you to sign in to The Comp Desk and approve the permission.
Which assistants does it work with?
Claude today, as a custom connector. Its listing in Claude's directory is in review, and a ChatGPT listing is in preparation. The setup steps for Claude are in the setup guide.
Where do the figures come from?
From calc-core, the calculation engine The Comp Desk uses in its app, on this site and in the Pro Workspace. The assistant is told to quote the figures as the Hub returns them.
Can I rely on a result in a hearing or a filing?
Treat it as a check on your own work. A calculator result is not a Board finding, and an attorney should confirm any figure before it goes into a filing.
What does the Hub see?
Only what a tool needs: numbers and dates for a calculation, a search phrase, or a borough or ZIP code. It does not see the rest of your conversation.
Is this from the Workers' Compensation Board?
No. The Hub is made by The Comp Desk, a private software platform. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Board.
Ask it about tomorrow's hearing.
Add the Hub to Claude in about a minute. It is free, and the calculators need no account.
Claude is a product of Anthropic. ChatGPT and Codex are products of OpenAI. Neither company endorses The Comp Desk.
