The Mississippi Workers' Compensation Commission has posted the 2016 Maximum Benefits and Mileage rates. For all injuries that occur in 2016, the maximum weekly disability benefit will be $468.63 The maximum lifetime disability benefit will be $210,883.50. These rates are maximums (not minimums) and depending on a worker's average weekly wage, the benefits could be different. Calculation of an injured workers average weekly wage is extremely important.
The mileage reimbursement for 2016 has also been set at .54 cents per mile. The mileage rates apply to all travel to and from related medical appointments with some exceptions. We strive to make sure all injured workers receive the correct amount for mileage reimbursements and that the mileage is paid as quickly as possible.
