How Are Wage Loss Benefits Paid Under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Comp Act?

Most insurance companies pay benefits every other week, although a few pay wage loss benefits weekly. These benefits are not taxable.

As of 2025, Pennsylvania requires workers’ compensation wage loss checks to be sent by direct deposit.

• Notification: Employers and Insurers must inform Claimants about the direct deposit option when issuing a Notice of Compensation Payable
• Authorization Form: Provide Claimants with a form to fill out their banking information
• Direct Deposit Setup: Implement direct deposit within 45 days of receiving the completed form
