What is the TD Rate minimum across 2006-2008?

• A. 132.25
• B. 137.45
• C. 143.70
• D. 132.50

Answer: (A)

Temporary disability benefits are designed to replace a portion of a worker’s wages, with two rules: the payment is two-thirds of the worker’s average weekly wage, but there is a statutory minimum and a maximum weekly amount. The minimum weekly TD rate acts as a floor so workers don’t receive less than a guaranteed amount when their wage would otherwise produce a smaller payment.

Across 2006 through 2008, the floor for the TD rate was 132.25 per week. Therefore, the smallest minimum rate over that period is 132.25, making it the correct choice. The other values are higher minimums that applied in different years or contexts, but they aren’t the minimum observed across all three years.
