Section 48-C. Assignment of future earnings by person unemployed; effect of loss of employment  


Latest version.
  • 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.
