If you are a New York National Guard member who becomes ill, injured or disabled in the line of duty while on state active duty, the state covers your required medical care and keeps paying you until you can return to your usual occupation, for up to 90 days. The pay matches an active duty service member of the same pay grade and length of service. Nothing is paid where similar benefits are provided under federal law or regulation.
Report the injury or illness through your chain of command and ask your unit to start a line of duty determination and a claim with the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs.
Your state active duty orders, a line of duty determination, and your medical records for the injury or illness.
