Temporary-disability formulas and duration
| Topic | General rule |
|---|---|
| TTD formula | 70% of AWW, capped at the injury-year state AWW |
| TTD minimum | No minimum listed in the WCC weekly compensation chart |
| Initial waiting period | No payment for the first three days of the initial TTD period |
| General TTD maximum duration | 156 weeks; up to 52 additional weeks only after required consequential-injury findings |
| TPD starting formula | 70% of AWW minus alternative-work wage |
| TPD combined limit | Actual earnings plus TPD cannot exceed the TTD rate |
| TPD duration | Maximum 52 weeks |
Medical status, return-to-work facts and special injury limits can end a temporary benefit before the general duration ceiling.
Notice, medical care and filing
| Item | Current general rule |
|---|---|
| Accidental-injury notice | Within 30 days to avoid the statutory rebuttable presumption |
| Initial medical control | Employer generally selects the treating physician |
| Prompt treatment | WCC guide describes care within five days after notice or knowledge |
| Accidental-injury claim | Generally one year from injury, or six months after the last issuance of qualifying benefits |
| Occupational disease | Separate notice and filing periods apply |
| Death claim | Generally two years from death |
| Employee claim form | CC-Form 3 or the specialized form matching the claim type |
These are general statutory periods, not a deadline opinion for an individual case. Payment history, claim type, exposure and procedural activity can change the analysis.
Permanent and other benefits
Permanent partial disability generally pays 70% of AWW up to $375 per week for injuries on or after July 1, 2025, multiplied by the legally assigned weeks or impairment schedule. The whole body represents a maximum of 360 weeks before applying the impairment percentage. PTD generally pays 70% of AWW up to the state AWW under separate duration and review provisions. Death benefits, vocational rehabilitation, disfigurement and medical maintenance each use their own eligibility and calculation rules.
