New Illinois Benefit Rates Effective July 15, 2008

By Michael Progar

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission has released the new weekly compensation rates for the period from July 15, 2008 through January 14, 2009, which may be viewed and printed here. The new Statewide Average Weekly Wage is $912.56, an increase of $28.70.

Section 8(b) of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act provides that the minimum TTD rate shall be not less than the higher of the Federal minimum wage or the Illinois minimum wage, multiplied by 40 hours. The rate is increased by 10% for each spouse and child.

Since the Illinois minimum wage is higher than the Federal minimum wage ($7.75 per hour as of July 1, 2008 vs. the Federal rate of $5.85 per hour-the Federal minimum wage increases to $6.55 per hour on July 24, 2008), the minimum TTD rates are as follows for accidents occurring from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009:

  • 0 children or spouse - $206.67
  • 1 - $237.67
  • 2 - $268.67
  • 3 - $299.67
  • 4+ - $310.00.
The maximum TTD rate is $1,216.75.

The new maximum PPD rate is unavailable until December 1, 2008, and will be effective retroactively for the period July 1, 2008 through through June 30, 2009.
Offices located in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
