Total disability benefits are paid when the employee is physically unable to earn any wages in any job. The weekly compensation rate for total incapacity is equal to 75% of the employee’s spendable base wage. Supplemental earnings and bonuses are considered in determining the compensation rate. Partial disability benefits are paid if the employee is not able to earn full wages but at the same time is not totally disabled. When the employee reaches maximum medical improvement, his or her compensation rate may be reduced. Weekly dependency allowance benefits of $15 per dependent are paid for total disability, while $40 per dependent per week is paid for fatality benefits. No dependency allowance is paid for partial disability. Read more about the types of workers’ compensation benefits here.
