Question
: What are the Workers' Compensation benefits payable for loss body members? |
| |
|
| Answer : Appendix A contains the number of weeks of benefits payable for 100% loss, or loss of use, of the body member. If the PPD rating is less than 100%, the percentage rating is multiplied by the number of weeks shown. For example a 20% loss or loss of use, of a thumb would be computed as 20% of 60 weeks or 12 weeks of PPD benefits. Scheduled Body Members: Loss of thumb - 60 weeks Loss of first finger - 35 weeks Loss of second finger - 30 weeks Loss of third finger - 25 weeks Loss of fourth finger - 20 weeks Loss of hand 190 - weeks Loss of arm 250 - weeks Loss of great toe - 40 weeks Loss of any other toe - 15 weeks Loss of foot - 150 weeks Loss of leg - 220 weeks Loss of eye - 140 weeks Loss of hearing in one ear - 50 weeks Loss of hearing in both ears - 175 weeks Permanent disfigurement, face or head - 150 weeks Body as a whole/industrial disability - 500 weeks Division of Workers' Compensation site |
