Frequently Asked Questions
How much does workers' comp pay?
Most states pay approximately two-thirds (66.67%) of your average weekly wage for temporary total disability benefits, subject to state minimum and maximum limits. For example, if you earned $900/week, you'd receive about $600/week in benefits.
Is there a waiting period for workers' comp?
Yes. Most states have a 3-7 day waiting period before benefits begin. If your disability extends beyond a certain period (typically 14-21 days), you may receive retroactive pay for the waiting period.
Are workers' comp benefits taxable?
Generally, workers' compensation benefits are not taxable at the federal or state level. However, if you also receive Social Security disability benefits, a portion may become taxable due to offset rules.
