Bransten v. State of New York (S.Ct/NY Co. #159160-2012)   record

             May 21, 2013 Supreme Court decision -- Carol Robinson Edmead & here

Indeed, the general consensus among the courts is that compensation includes wages and benefits, including health insurance benefits (see Roe v Board of Trustees of Vil. of Bellport, 65 AD3d 1211, 1211, 1212 [2d Dept 2009]..."
