Workers’ compensation benefits must be coordinated with most government benefits. When a person is receiving more than one form of benefit, either the government benefit or the workers’ compensation benefit may be reduced. If you are not currently receiving government benefits, your workers’ compensation benefits may be affected in the future. After a specific waiting period, supplementary benefits will be paid, if necessary, to assure the employee’s compensation benefits are not less than 65% of the state-wide average weekly wage. If you have questions call Claims Services and Investigations.
