Virginia Termination of Wage Loss Award (TWA) is a form of compensation offered to workers who have been injured on the job in the state of Virginia. TWA is available to injured workers who have been unable to return to work for more than seven days due to their injury, or who have suffered a permanent disability or death as a result of their injury. It provides compensation for lost wages, medical bills, and other costs associated with the injury. The amount of compensation is based on a percentage of the worker’s average weekly wage prior to the injury. There are two types of TWA available in Virginia: permanent total disability and permanent partial disability. Permanent total disability awards are for those who are permanently and totally disabled and unable to work in any capacity, while permanent partial disability awards are for those who are able to return to some form of work but not as much as they were able to do prior to the injury.

FAQ
Temporary total disability (TT): If your doctor says you cannot work because of your work-related injury or illness, you may be entitled to compensation equaling 66 2/3% of your regular wages based upon earnings for the 52 weeks prior to your injury. This amount is subject to a statewide maximum reimbursement amount.
§ 65.2-512. Compensation to dependents of an employee killed; burial expenses.
Generally, the maximum time that you can receive workers' compensation benefits in Virginia is 500 weeks. There are exceptions to this limit, such as if you suffered a severe injury such as a spinal cord injury, brain injury, or amputation of multiple limbs.
If your injury or illness is so severe that you are permanently and totally unable to work, you may be entitled to wage loss benefits for the rest of your life. The weekly payment is two-thirds (66.66 percent) of your average weekly wages prior to injury or illness.
Your average weekly wage includes all your gross wages, including overtime and bonuses. If you have a second job at the time of your injury, your average weekly wage also includes those wages. The higher your average weekly wage, the higher the wage loss benefits you receive.
The calculation of wage loss benefits in Virginia is determined by the state and based on the average weekly wage you earned prior to the injury or illness occurring. The amount you receive is either two-thirds of this wage or a maximum dollar amount that the state sets. You will receive whichever is lower.
