It depends. How much workers’ compensation you receive depends on the nature and extent of your disability, whether you can work at all, and whether you are eligible for special payments for conditions such as amputation or disfigurement. You may be eligible to receive up to two-thirds of your former salary if you are very disabled, as well as the difference between your part-time or light-duty wage and your previous wage if you are partly disabled. There is a cap on the total amount of workers’ compensation you can receive. The cap usually changes annually in Pennsylvania. High-salary workers may not receive two-thirds of their old income if that number is higher than the limit.
