Kansas rule sheet
| Benefit formula | 66⅔% of your gross average weekly wage.[1] |
|---|---|
| Maximum weekly | $905.00 a week for injuries Jul 1, 2026 – Jun 30, 2027 [1] |
| Minimum weekly | $50.00. The statute sets a $50 minimum weekly benefit.[1] |
| How the limits are set | Maximum = the dollar amount nearest 75% of the state average weekly wage, effective each July 1. |
| Waiting period | No pay for the first week; it is paid if temporary total disability lasts three consecutive weeks.[1] |
| How long TTD lasts | No week cap in 44-510c; TTD (including prior PTD/PPD/TPD paid) capped at $225,000 per injury (caps in effect until June 30, 2027, then indexed). TTD barred for weeks the employee receives unemployment benefits.[2] |
| Partial (TPD) | 66⅔% of the difference between pre-injury AWW and actual post-injury earnings in any employment, not exceeding the 44-510c max; temporary or permanent partial general disability not exceeding 415 weeks.[3] |
| Average weekly wage | Wages earned during calendar weeks employed by the employer, up to 26 calendar weeks immediately preceding injury, divided by weeks actually worked or 26; first partial week excluded; 'money' includes sick/vacation/PTO, bonuses, gratuities; 'additional compensation' (board/lodging, employer-paid insurance/pension) defined separately.[4] |
Worked example, Oct 5, 2026
- Average weekly wage$1,000.00
- 66⅔% of wage$666.67
- Inside the $50.00–$905.00 band$666.67
- Off work 28 days: waiting days paid back, 28 days paid$2,666.68
- Kansas TTD per week$666.67
A higher earner at $2,500.00 a week would get $905.00 — the Kansas maximum, not $1,666.67. A worker earning $300.00 would get $200.00.
