1. A claimant whose weekly benefit rate is less than sixty percent of the state's average
weekly wage, who is eligible for supplementary benefits and who is receiving
temporary total disability benefits, permanent total disability benefits, or death benefits
regardless of the date of death, is entitled to receive a weekly supplementary benefit
that, when added to the weekly temporary total disability benefit, permanent total
disability benefit, or death benefit, equals the ratio of that claimant's weekly benefit to
the state's average weekly wage on the date of the claimant's first disability, times the
state's average weekly wage in effect at the date eligibility for supplementary benefits
is achieved. The organization shall determine on an annual basis, for a claimant who
receives a supplementary benefit under this subsection, supplementary benefit
increases equal to a percentage of that claimant's combined weekly benefit. That
percentage is equal to the annual percentage change in the state's average weekly
wage. For purposes of this section, combined weekly benefit means the weekly benefit
for which the claimant is eligible before any applicable social security offset plus the
amount of weekly supplementary benefits for which the claimant is eligible.
2. A claimant whose weekly benefit rate is greater than or equal to sixty percent of the
state's average weekly wage, who is eligible for supplementary benefits and who is
receiving temporary total disability benefits, permanent total disability benefits, or
death benefits regardless of the date of death, is entitled to receive a weekly
supplementary benefit equal to a percentage of that claimant's weekly benefit. That
percentage is equal to the annual percentage change in the state's average weekly
wage. The organization shall determine on an annual basis, for that claimant,
supplementary benefit increases equal to a percentage of that claimant's combined
weekly benefit. That percentage is equal to the annual percentage change in the
state's average weekly wage.
3. An annual recalculation of supplementary benefits may not result in a rate less than
the previous rate. If a claim has been accepted on an aggravation basis under section
65-05-15 and the claimant is eligible for supplementary benefits, the claimant's
supplementary benefit must be proportionally calculated.
