What is the minimum TD Rate for 2008?

• A. 132.25
• B. 143.70
• C. 132.50
• D. 143.60

Answer: (B)

Temporary Disability (TD) rate is the weekly benefit amount for temporary disability, and there is a yearly minimum and maximum set by the state. For each year, the schedule establishes a floor so that even if two-thirds of the worker’s average weekly wage would be lower, the benefit won’t drop below that minimum. In 2008, the published minimum TD rate is 143.70 per week, so the weekly TD benefit cannot be less than 143.70 regardless of the exact 2/3 calculation from the AWW. The other numbers correspond to different years and do not reflect the 2008 minimum.
