What is the maximum temporary disability rate for an injury in 2010?

• A. $840.00
• B. $989.69
• C. $916.33
• D. $958.01

Answer: (B)

Temporary disability benefits in California are paid at two-thirds of the employee’s average weekly wage, but there is a yearly cap set by the state. For 2010, that cap was $989.69 per week. This means TD payments are either two-thirds of the worker’s AWW, if that amount is below the cap, or $989.69 per week if two-thirds of the AWW would exceed the cap. That year’s maximum weekly TD rate is therefore $989.69.
