What Are The Income Benefits Available To Workers' Compensation Claims in Texas?
Income benefits replace a portion of wages you lose because of a work-related injury or illness. There are four types of income benefits:
- Temporary Income Benefits (TIBs)
- Impairment Income Benefits (IIBs)
- Supplemental Income Benefits (SIBs)
- Lifetime Income Benefits (LIBs).
Income benefits may not exceed the maximum weekly amount set by state law. Temporary income benefits, impairment income benefits, and lifetime income benefits are also subject to a minimum amount set by state law.
Maximum and minimum benefit amounts are based on the state average weekly wage.
You must report any income (other than income benefits you may be receiving) to the Division and the insurance carrier so an adjustment can be made to your income benefit payments. You may be fined and/or charged with fraud if
you receive temporary income benefits while also receiving wages from an employer without informing the Division and the insurance carrier.
Income benefits are no longer payable following the death of an injured worker receiving income benefits. The injured worker's beneficiaries may be eligible to apply and receive death benefits if the injured worker's death was due to the
work-related injury or illness.
