How does the Workers’ Commission determine how much money is paid each week as part of the permanency award?
Permanency awards are divided into four different categories. The first category is seventy-four weeks of benefits or less, which is typically an award of fourteen percent or less and those are paid at the lowest rate per week. The next tier of benefits is any award from seventy-five weeks to two hundred and forty-nine weeks which is typically an award of fifteen percent to forty-nine percent and those awards are paid at the second tier rate. Awards of fifty percent due to the accident and higher are paid at the third tier rate and the highest rate. Finally, permanent total benefits are paid also at a high rate and are paid for the rest of your life.
