Temporary Total Disability There is a one-week waiting period (seven calendar days) before TTD benefits are paid.

The weekly benefits are based on 66.67 percent of the employee's average weekly wage at the time of the accident or injury, but cannot exceed the statutory maximum. The minimum death benefit is 50 percent of the state's average weekly wage in effect on the date of accident.

The weekly benefits are based on 67% of the deceased worker's average weekly wage, not to exceed the statutory maximum. The minimum death benefit equals 50% of the state's average weekly wage.

Under Kansas statute 44-534, a workers' compensation claim must be filed within three years of the injury or two years from the date of last payment, whichever is later. This means that you have the right to file for workers' compensation long after the date of an original injury.

It is an insurance policy that is provided by the employer (by law) to pay employee benefits for job-related injuries, disability or death. The present law covers all Kansas employers except for those in certain agricultural pursuits or those with a gross annual payroll of $20,000 or less.

Workers Compensation cases can sometimes settle shortly after an injury (within a few weeks or a couple of months), or they can take years. The average workers' compensation case will take about 16 months to be resolved. A resolution may result in a settlement agreement or a hearing with a judge.
