N.Y. Personal Property Law § 48-c: Assignment of future earnings by person unemployed; effect of loss of employment

§ 48-c. Assignment of future earnings by person unemployed; effect of

loss of employment. If the assignor is not employed at the time he makes

an assignment of future earnings, but is thereafter employed, his future

earnings shall nevertheless become collectible by the assignee as

provided in this article upon the filing of the prescribed documents

with the employer. No assignment of future earnings shall become invalid

by reason of the cessation of employment, or cessation of payment of

earnings, but shall continue in effect, and may be applied to the

payment of any future earnings from the same or other employment, in

accordance with the provisions of this article, so long as the

indebtedness secured by the assignment shall remain unpaid in whole or

in part. If the assignor is re-employed by the same employer before the

expiration of ninety days from the termination of employment, the

assignment shall continue to be collectible without further filing of

papers. If the employee is re-employed on or after the expiration of

such ninety days, the assignment shall again become collectible from the

employer as provided in section forty-eight-a only after copies of the

assignment and the other documents specified in such section have been

filed with the employer following the re-employment.
