Medical benefits will commence as soon as you inform your employer of your work related injury.
Wage loss benefits will be paid after being unable to work for more than 3 days because of a work related injury. Temporary Total Disability is paid at approximately twothirds of the gross weekly wages at the time of injury. This amount is not to exceed a $615.00 weekly benefit. If there is no disability beyond 10 days, then the first 3 days of disability will not be paid. Permanent Total Disability benefits are also twothirds of the gross wages; although the minimum amount varies depending on statewide weekly wages the maximum is $615.00. A cost of living increase may commence with PTD after 4 years from the date of injury. Permanent Partial Disability benefits are paid for such things as the loss of a finger. In this case your doctor will rate your disability according to Minnesota disability tables. The percentage of disability determines the amount of benefits paid.
