Iowa Workman’s Comp: Disability Benefits

When you file an Iowa Workers' Compensation claim , you may be entitled to compensation for your loss of wages. This type of compensation is commonly referred to as disability benefits in Workers' Compensation terms. When you receive disability benefits in Iowa, your total weekly compensation will not exceed 80% of your weekly spendable earnings.

In this case, your weekly rate is determined by your average gross weekly earnings, your number of exemptions, and your marital status. The weekly benefit amount will be based upon a 7 day calendar week.

As of July 1, 2010, the maximum weekly disability benefit rate for Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) is $1306. The maximum weekly disability benefit rate for Temporary Total Disability (TTD), Permanent Total Disability (PTD), and death benefits is $1420. These rates are established through June 30, 2011.

If you have been injured in an Iowa work accident , then in an Iowa Workers' Compensation claim you may be able to recover your medical expenses, any wages that you have lost, and any wages that you may lose in the future.
