- The increase in minimum weekly income benefits under the Workers’ Compensation Act for total disability for the year 2020 over the year 2019 did amount to one dollar ($1.00) or more; therefore, the minimum weekly indemnity benefit for calendar year 2022, where applicable under the Act, shall be $195.29.
