Georgia Workers' Compensation Lawyer Blog

Your weekly check will normally be 2/3 of your average weekly wage. However, there are caps on this. So, if you make more than $750 per week (or $39,000 per year), you will not be able to get 2/3 of your usual weekly wage in workers' compensation benefits in Georgia. You'll get $500/week. If that frustrates you, contact your local state legislator about raising the maximum rates.

Certainly, being on workers' comp disability can be frustrating if $500/week is less than 2/3 of your weekly income. The benefits are not taxed, however. If you have additional questions about Georgia workers' compensation law, feel free to call Moebes Law, Atlanta workers' compensation lawyers.

Per IRS Publication 525, Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits in Georgia are not subject to income tax.  Neither are Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) benefits and Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) benefits.  Wasn't that simple?
