E246 How to Collect the MTA COVID19 Death Benefit

<p>Did you know that heirs of Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) workers who died of COVID19 may receive a $500,000 death benefit?</p> <p>When I first heard of this, I thought it was a scam. But, yes, this is real! We’ve helped families collect this benefit. Here’s how:</p> <h2>Who qualifies for the MTA COVID19 death benefit?</h2> <p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-27654" src= "https://anthonyspark.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Who-qualifies-for-the-MTA-COVID19-death-benefit-300x169.jpg" alt="Who qualifies for the MTA COVID19 death benefit?" width="300" height="169" /></p> <p><a href= "https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-announces-state-tax-break-mta-covid-death-benefits-part-fy-2022-budget"> Any MTA employee who died of COVID19 qualifies</a>. The MTA has already paid out over $62,000,000, which means at least 140 employees have passed away from COVID 19.</p> <h2>How to apply for the MTA COVID19 death benefit?</h2> <p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-27656" src= "https://anthonyspark.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/How-to-apply-for-the-MTA-COVID19-death-benefit--300x169.jpg" alt="How to apply for the MTA COVID19 death benefit?" width="300" height="169" /></p> <p>An heir can’t just apply as family member of the decedent (we’ve been hired by families that have tried). You must set up an estate and get a court-appointed executor or administrator. That court-appointed person is who must apply. An administrator is appointed for an estate without a will, and an executor is appointed for an estate with a will.</p> <p>Be sure to choose wisely who you want to fill that role, because once that person is appointed, they need to know how to work with the MTA to get the claim pushed through.</p> <p>It’s not easy like submitting a life insurance claim. This kind of death benefit claim is new. Anytime you are dealing with something new involving a bureaucracy, you need some force of will to get it done. From personal experience, getting the MTA death benefit can be a long, drawn-out proces
