Under Virginia workers compensation law, what is the minimum weekly benefit for temporary total disability in 2024?
Correct Answer
C) $435
Virginia sets annual minimum weekly benefits for workers compensation. The current minimum for temporary total disability is $435 per week.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Virginia sets a statutory minimum weekly benefit for temporary total disability. As of 2024, that floor is $435 per week, ensuring that even very low-wage workers receive a meaningful income-replacement payment while they cannot work.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $290
$290 is too low and does not correspond to Virginia's current statutory minimum; it may reflect an outdated or incorrect figure from an earlier period.
Option B: $520
$520 is closer to the maximum end of the benefit scale and is not the minimum threshold set by Virginia law for temporary total disability.
Option D: $370
$370 is a plausible-sounding dollar amount but does not match Virginia's legislated minimum; it falls between the incorrect low and the correct figure, making it a tempting distractor.
Memory Technique
Think '4-3-5 = the floor in '24–'25': four hundred thirty-five dollars is Virginia's minimum weekly floor for temporary total disability.
