Wage Loss Benefit LimitationsWage-loss benefits are subject to two limits. State waiting periodsState law requires a specified number of days to pass before an injured employee is eligible to receive workers' compensation wage-loss benefits. The number of days in the so-called "waiting period" varies by state. Each state also specifies which days count and what
constitutes a day. State minimums and maximumsGenerally, workers' compensation pays two-thirds of an injured employee's average weekly wage. However, this weekly amount is subject to minimum and maximum limits set by state law. For state-specific benefit information, search your state's department of labor website. Consult your SFM claims representative for specific information regarding your claim.
