Why does the amount on my compensation checks fluctuate?

There are numerous reasons why the amounts of your employment injury reimbursement checks may vary. Usually, these checks are disbursed every two weeks. Sometimes, discrepancies in the amounts received arise due to the starting and ending dates mentioned by your medical practitioner on the form. Additionally, after the initial 12 weeks of complete temporary disability, the rate typically changes, resulting in different check amounts. According to Rule 4123.56, certain types of employment injury compensations are subject to family support, leading to a reduction in the rate. Furthermore, different forms of compensatory benefits entail distinct applicable rates. For specific queries regarding the check amount or the time period it covers, please get in touch with the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC).
