There are three types of indemnity benefits: temporary total disability (TTD), permanent partial disability (PPD), and permanent total disability (PTD). Each type of indemnity benefit has a different calculation defined by statute and uses specific information related to the claim. KRS 342.730 governs how income benefits are calculated.

For TTD benefits, the weekly payment amount is 66 2/3% of the claimant’s average weekly wage, subject to a minimum and maximum rate provided by statute. The average weekly wage is determined by wage information submitted by the employer.
