Why the maximum matters more than the percentage

Most states describe temporary total disability as a percentage of the average weekly wage, but every state also caps the weekly amount. Above the wage where the cap binds, extra earnings add nothing to the benefit, so higher earners are replaced at well under the headline rate. Each state page shows where that point falls and links the agency page the figures were read from.

States are added only when their current figures can be read from an official state source.
