Generally, it is paid in checks sent to you every two weeks. If you are injured in 2005 and your permanent disability is 15%, you will receive approximately $11,110, paid out at a rate of $220 per week or $440 every two weeks, until your award of $11,110 is fully paid out. You can work full-time during this period and you will still get this money. If you completely settle your case, including your right to get medical treatment paid for by your employer to the injured body parts, you can have your permanent disability award paid to you in a lump sum.
