Kirsten makes $375 per week bagging groceries at her job in West Virginia until she trips over a customer's skateboard and breaks her ankle. How much will Kirsten's Temporary Total Disability benefits under workers' compensation insurance pay per week until she is able to return to work?

$187.50
$250
$312.50
$375

The correct answer is: $187.50

Kirsten’s Temporary Total Disability benefits are calculated based on a percentage of her average weekly wage, as defined by West Virginia workers' compensation laws. In West Virginia, employees typically receive 66.67% of their average weekly wage while they are temporarily unable to work due to a work-related injury. To find the amount she would receive, we take Kirsten's weekly earnings of $375 and multiply it by 66.67%, which results in approximately $250. Therefore, she is entitled to receive $250 per week in benefits while she recovers from her injury. The answer of $187.50 does not accurately reflect the benefits calculated under the standard percentage method used for temporary disability in West Virginia, making it the incorrect choice.
