Summary of Changes
DI 52150.045 Chart of States’ Maximum Workers’ Compensation (WC) Benefits
C. State maximum weekly WC benefits amount
Adding update for the 10/2020 rates for Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Texas and Wyoming.
Each State, U.S. territory, and the District of Columbia (D.C.) has maximum weekly WC amounts that represent the highest WC rate a worker can receive if injured on or after a particular date. Use only the information in the charts without adding cost-of-living increases.
Use the maximum weekly WC rates to:
impose offset when the actual WC rate is unknown and the claimant has not provided any proof ; or
prorate a lump sum (LS) when a periodic rate is not specified in the LS award and no periodic WC payments were paid prior to the LS.
The maximum WC rates can be exceeded. For example, if a claimant is awarded LS amounts for different injuries, each settlement is prorated separately, the amounts for concurrent periods are added together and the total amount of WC for offset purposes exceeds the State maximum.
NOTE::
If number holder (NH) alleges a rate higher than the weekly maximum rate in the charts, use the alleged rate for your computations.
You are adjudicating a claim on 10/10/2005.
The State of Washington awarded WC benefits to this NH with a date of injury of 03/15/2001.
SSA date of entitlement to disability (DOED) is 06/01/2003.
Offset effective date is 06/01/2003.
NH cannot or is unwilling to provide proof of their WC rate.
Take the following actions to obtain the weekly maximum for your computation:
Click on WA for State of Washington charts.
Look for the rate that would be effective for 03/15/2001. That rate is $821.83 (after 07/01/00 but before 07/01/01).
Use $821.83 as the ongoing weekly rate for your computation unless NH has provided a different alleged rate.
The State of Maine awarded a WC lump sum settlement to this NH with a date of injury of 03/31/2001.
SSA DOED is 06/01/2003.
The award does not provide a weekly proration rate and there were no prior periodic payments from which to obtain a rate.
Click on ME for the State of Maine charts.
Look for the rate that would be effective for 03/31/2001. That rate is $458.83.
