New TTD & PPD rates announced

The amount you get paid for your time off of work (TTD benefits) and the amount your case is worth (PPD) benefits is determined from a formula based on your average weekly wage prior to the injury. 

These rates are subject to maximum earnings - the TTD rate is 2/3 of your wage, but if a pro athlete or millionaire businessman got hurt they wouldn't get that much, most people are not affected.  The new maximum TTD rate in Illinois is $1,231.41.  The new maximum PPD rate is $643.82.

These were the smallest Illinois workers' compensation benefit increases in years and reflect our poor economy.  That said, an Illinois work injury is worth more than any other state so all things considered no one should be complaining.
