The new measure effectively adds another seven months to the revival period, allowing "look-back" claims to be filed up until Aug. 14, 2021. To try to avoid a backlog in claims prior to the pandemic, the Office of Court Administration designated judges for the cases around the state and provided special training on issues related to child sex abuse.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday signed legislation extending the “look-back window” for New York’s Child Victims Act through Aug. 14, 2021, giving survivors of child sex abuse several more months to file lawsuits related to older claims barred by statutes of limitation.
The Child Victims Act originally established a one-year window, from August 2019 to August 2020, in which survivors could file civil suits against their abuser or an institution regardless of the survivor’s age.
