The Washington Schedule of Future Payments for the Balance of the Permanent Partial Disability Award is a structured payment plan designed to provide financial support to workers who have suffered a permanent partial disability as a result of a work-related injury or illness. This schedule outlines the amounts, dates, and intervals of payments for the balance of the award, which is typically paid out in a lump sum. The schedule is created by the Washington Department of Labor & Industries and is based on the injured worker’s wage at the time of the injury and the number of weeks of the award. The Washington Schedule of Future Payments for the Balance of the Permanent Partial Disability Award has two types — Schedules A and B. Schedule A is used for injuries that occurred before July 1, 2019, and Schedule B is used for injuries that occurred after July 1, 2019. Schedule A payments are made in equal biweekly installments over a period of 500 weeks and Schedule B payments are made in equal biweekly installments over a period of 600 weeks.
