The Basics About Wage Loss Benefits and Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Florida

Wage loss benefits are a critical component of workers' compensation in Florida, offering important financial assistance when you're unable to work due to a workplace injury or occupational illness. These benefits can provide you with the means to support yourself and your household during your recovery period.

To be eligible for wage loss benefits, you must have sustained a workplace injury or illness that prevents you from working. This injury must be confirmed and documented by a medical professional.

If you qualify, you may be eligible for the following types of wage loss benefits:

Temporary Total Wage Loss Benefits: If your injury leaves you completely unable to work temporarily, you may be entitled to temporary total wage loss benefits. These benefits usually provide 66 2/3% of your average wage, up to a state maximum. In cases of very severe injury, you may qualify for more than this amount. You will typically not get these benefits for the first seven days, unless your injury leaves you unable to work for over 21 days.
Temporary Partial Wage Loss Benefits: If your injury allows you to work in a reduced capacity, you may be eligible for temporary partial wage loss benefits. These benefits supplement the difference between your previous wages and your current reduced earnings. You may be able to get up to 80% of the wages you were earning before your injury.
Permanent Total Wage Loss Benefits: If your injury results in you being permanently unable to work, you may be entitled to ongoing financial support.
Permanent Partial Wage Loss Benefits: If your injury leaves you with a permanent impairment but allows you to work in some capacity, you may be eligible for benefits that provide compensation for the lasting effects of your injury.
