Understanding what you're owed is the first step. These guides explain every type of New York workers' comp benefit in plain language.
Your AWW is the starting point for every benefit calculation — weekly disability checks, SLU awards, all of it. An error in the AWW calculation can cost you thousands. Learn how it's computed, where mistakes happen, and how to use our free AWW Calculator.
TT and TPD are the two types of ongoing weekly disability benefits. They pay different rates and have different rules — knowing the difference determines how much money you receive while you're out of work or on light duty.
An SLU award is a lump sum payment for the permanent partial loss of function of a scheduled body part — arm, leg, hand, foot, and others. Learn how SLU percentages are assigned, how the math works, and how to use the free SLU Calculator.
