What is the maximum weekly percentage for Temporary Total Disability based on the Average Weekly Wage?

The maximum weekly percentage for Temporary Total Disability (TTD) payments is set at 66.5% of the claimant's Average Weekly Wage (AWW) in West Virginia. This percentage is calculated to ensure that injured workers receive a sufficient portion of their wages while they are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness. By providing 66.5%, the system aims to balance financial support with the recognition that TTD benefits are not meant to completely replace the worker's lost income but to offer assistance during their recovery period. This figure mirrors state regulatory guidelines intended to provide a reasonable outcome for both the injured worker and the employer's liability within the workers’ compensation framework.

The other percentages do not apply for maximum TTD benefits; thus, they do not align with the established regulations of the West Virginia Workers' Compensation program.
