Recently, the Division of Industrial Relations notified the public that the maximum average monthly wage has increased to $6,927.83 for claims filed after July 1, 2021.
The average monthly wage is used to calculate benefits for injured workers in Nevada. It is also used to determine the amount an injured worker will receive from their final settlement in a workers’ compensation case; this is called a permanent partial disability award. The maximum average monthly wage is the maximum amount an insurer will use to calculate benefits for an injured worker. This means that if the injured worker makes more than $6,927.83, their wage calculation will be reduced to match the maximum amount allowed under the statute. It is important that the insurer is using an accurate and fair average monthly wage as it affects the amount of money received by the injured worker. An injured worker can ask the insurer to recalculate wages if he or she believes that the calculation is inaccurate. Generally, the insurer must use 84 days of wage history or a one-year wage history to calculate wages, and the insurer must use whichever calculation returns a higher wage, up to the maximum amount of $6,927.83.
