¹Rates of compensation are effective each year from January 1 through December 31.

² Wage loss is paid for a maximum of 200 weeks.

³ The amputation award shows the weekly amount paid to everyone for amputation or loss of use, regardless of average weekly wage.

⁴ The top number is the permanent total maximum when the injured worker is not also receiving Social Security disability. If the injured worker is receiving Social Security disability and permanent total, the permanent total maximum is the bottom number. If you are receiving Social Security Disability and are also receiving permanent total disability compensation under the Ohio workers' compensation system, the amount of permanent total will be reduced by 1/3.

When you reach retirement age, Social Security will automatically switch you over to Social Security retirement. At that time, your workers' compensation permanent total benefits should return to the full amount.

For some people, it may make sense to switch over to Social Security retirement early.

5 The minimum for death benefits is 1/2 of the maximum shown.
