Now Jay-Z has only 98 problems.

The hip-hop mogul is off the hook for an $18,000 judgment, slapped on him by state workers’-compensation regulators, officials said last night.

A Manhattan judge had ordered the “99 Problems” rapper to fork over $18,000 for allegedly failing to pay workers’-comp insurance for employees at his plush TriBeCa pad, court records showed.

Jay-Z’s camp insisted all day yesterday it was a big misunderstanding. And by last night, officials in Albany agreed.

“After consulting with the employer’s insurer, the board expects this matter to be resolved in the next few days, resulting in the judgment being vacated,” said Brian Keegan, a spokesman for the New York State’s Workers’ Compensation Board.

The state had previously claimed Shawn Carter, 42 — Jay-Z’s birth name — failed to pay insurance from Sept. 30, 2009, to Dec. 30, 2009, for staff at 195 Hudson St.

The complaint was filed in March, and the board secured a Supreme Court judgment on Nov. 22. Jay-Z’s reps chalked up the judgment to a paperwork foul-up.

“There’s never been a missed payment,” said a Jay-Z confidant.
