DIR Announces New TTD Rates

A DIR “Newsline”  heralds the dawn of a new age – well, not really.  Starting with January 1, 2014, temporary total disability rates will go up less than one percent, setting the new minimum at $161.19 and the new maximum at $1,074.64 per week.

Under Labor Code section 4453(a)(10, TTD is based on the percentage of increase in the state average weekly wage increase.  So the good news is that California’s average weekly wages went up!

How do you plan to spend your extra 0.74% in wages?

Have a good weekend, folks!
