How are disability (wage replacement) benefits paid?
Disability benefits are paid at a rate of 66 2/3 of the workers gross weekly wage at the time of disability, not to exceed the states statutory maximum benefit. There is also a statutory minimum benefit. The TTD cannot go below the statutory minimum, unless the workers preinjury net wage was lower than the statutory minimum, in which case the worker would receive benefits equal to their preinjury net wage. Benefit checks are mailed to the injured worker.
