All applicants must be current City of New York employees serving in a permanent (not provisional) Civil Service title of Claim Specialist. To be considered for this position, PLEASE CLEARLY INDICATE YOUR CURRENT PERMANENT CIVIL SERVICE TITLE on your resume and cover letter.
The New York City Comptroller’s Office works to promote the financial health, integrity, and effectiveness of New York City government, in order to strengthen trust, secure a thriving future for all New Yorkers, and build a more just, equitable, and resilient city. Led by an independently elected citywide official, the comptroller’s office provides checks and balances needed to hold City government accountable for budgeting wisely, investing responsibly, operating efficiently, acting fairly, living up to its obligations and promises, and paying attention to the long-term challenges we face together.
Authorized by the New York City Charter, the Comptroller, through the Bureau of Law and Adjustment (BLA), negotiates and approves all monetary settlement of claims and lawsuits involving the City of New York. BLA investigates and, when in the best interest of the city, settles pre-litigation claims for and against the City of New York. In resolving claims before litigation is commenced, BLA protects the fiscal interest of the City while ensuring that pre-litigation claims are resolved in a fair and just manner, and in accordance with applicable laws. BLA furthers this goal in its review, evaluation, and authorization of requests to settle litigated cases involving the City and through diligent administration of disputes arising out of City contracts. BLA manages City risk by holding agencies accountable, rooting out fraud, and identifying trends, as well as, coordinating with the Law Department and other City agencies on issues that impact the public fiscal and public safety.
The Bureau of Law & Adjustment (BLA) is responsible for investigating and adjusting claims filed against the City of New York. The Correction Division investigates and resolves pre-litigation claims involving the Department of Correction. The Correction Division is within BLA’s Litigation Unit and works closely with the Office of the Corporation Counsel and the Department of Correction to resolve claims pre-litigation.
The Claim Specialist Level II works under the general supervision of the Division Chief, Correction Claims, with latitude for the exercise of independent analysis, judgment and initiative.

College education may be substituted for experience as described in “2” or “3” above on the basis that 30 semester credits from an accredited college or university may be substituted for each year of required experience.
