HOW YOUR BENEFITS ARE DETERMINED
Most benefits are based on your average weekly wage (AWW) prior to your injury (including overtime, tips, etc.), going back up to 52 weeks prior to your date of injury. If you have not been in your current job long enough to fairly determine your AWW, the insurer can use the actual wages of a co-worker who had been in a similar job as yours long enough to determine an AWW, or another method.Next: Medical Benefits: >>
