With just days left in the legislative session, the NY Assembly Majority must not leave Albany without reforming the state’s inadequate Temporary Disability Insurance program by passing A84--for the second year in a row. Read our full statement below.


As the NY Assembly Majority prepares for their summer getaways, thousands of NYs with cancer are preparing to spend their summer fighting to survive--while also struggling to put food on the table—all because the Assembly didn't reform the TDI program. There is still time to pass A84.


In 2025, more than 123K NYs will hear the words "You have cancer." Behind every one of those diagnoses is a person fighting for their life. Let’s not make them fight alone. We urge the NY Assembly Majority to update NYs TDI program by passing A84. archive.ph/ipOfb#selectio…
