Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ Compensation Benefits Depending on the nature of your injury, you will receive one of four basic workers’ compensation income benefits:
Temporary Total Disability Benefits (TTD) — This workers’ compensation benefit is paid weekly to injured workers who are unable to return to any type of work after an on-the-job injury. These benefits amount to two-thirds of the employee's average weekly wage, up to a limit of $500 per week. People with non-catastrophic injuries are limited to 400 weeks of benefits. People with catastrophic injuries receive workers’ compensation benefits for an unlimited time period.
Temporary Partial Disability Benefits (TPD) — This workers’ compensation benefit is paid weekly to an employee who returns to work in a job paying less as a result of an on-the-job accident. Benefits are two-thirds of the difference between the employee's average weekly wage before and after the injury, up to a certain limit. These workers’ compensation benefits are paid for up to 350 weeks.
Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) — This workers’ compensation benefit is paid weekly to an employee whose on-the-job injury results in a permanent disability. Your doctor will use AMA guidelines to determine your percentage of disability. Payment is based on the following formula: your percent of disability times the number of weeks the State Workers' Compensation Board assigns to this percent of disability times the Temporary Total Disability rate.
