2023 Workers’ Compensation Rate Increases

Workers’ Compensation Total Disability Rates

Below is a schedule for the workers’ compensation total disability rates that apply to any injuries that occurred in the last three years. The compensation rate is based upon an employee’s average weekly wage. To understand the chart, refer to the 2023 column. If an employee is earning more than $1,909.50, they will receive the maximum rate of $1,273.00. If earnings are between $954.76 and $1,909.50, the compensation rate is two-thirds of the earnings. If earnings are between $707.22 and $954.75, the compensation payment is $636.50. If earnings are $707.22 or less, 90% of the average weekly wage is payable.

Workers’ Compensation Partial Disability Rates

Partial disability is always calculated at two-thirds of the difference between the employee’s average weekly wage at the time of injury, and any weekly earnings thereafter. The maximum rate is still applicable to partial disability calculations, but low-wage earners do not get the benefit of the 90% calculation if on partial disability.
