The insurance broker for former "30 Rock" star Tina Fey accepted the fault for an erroneous $79,000 legal judgment that said the actress failed to pay for workers’ compensation insurance for her staff.

"We collectively accept full responsibility for this clerical error," said DeMille Halliburton, vice president of insurance broker Robertson Taylor.

"Tina Fey was never delinquent in paying premiums or having the proper . . . coverage."

The state Workers Compensation Board filed documents last week saying that between Nov. 20, 2012 and Feb. 2, 2013, Fey did not pay the required premiums.

Late Monday, a spokeswoman for the board said Fey’s staff satisfied Albany that she had coverage since November and that Fey’s staffers are working with their carrier to find the paperwork to prove they had coverage for the year earlier.
