HB 510 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Workers' Compensation Law; increase maximum total recovery under to 520 weeks.

HB 510 increases the maximum duration for Mississippi workers to receive compensation under the state's workers' compensation law from the previous limit to 520 weeks. This directly affects workers with permanent total disability, temporary total disability, or permanent partial disability, extending their eligibility for income replacement benefits. The total compensation is calculated as 66.67% of the worker's average weekly wage for up to 520 weeks, excluding medical payments. The bill amends specific sections of Mississippi Code (71-3-13, 71-3-17, 71-3-21, and 71-3-25) to implement this change.
