Form Twcc 3 PDF Details

In the realm of workers’ compensation in Texas, the Employer's Wage Statement, known officially as the TWCC-3 form, serves a crucial role in the determination and calculation of an injured employee's benefits by providing essential wage information to the workers' compensation insurance carrier. Encompassed by the regulations set forth by the Texas Workers' Compensation Act and Commission, this form is a requisite for employers to submit not only to the insurance carrier but also to the claimant or their representative, if applicable. The core objective of the form is to establish an employee's Average Weekly Wage (AWW), which is pivotal in calculating the benefits due. The computation of AWW takes into account the wages earned by the employee within the 13 weeks leading up to the injury, incorporating all forms of remuneration, including fringe benefits. The procedural guidelines mandate timely submission of the form, stipulating fines for non-compliance, thereby underlining the form’s significance in the workers' compensation claim process. Additionally, the document details the provision for subsequent adjustments should there be modifications in the reported wage information, thereby ensuring the accuracy and fairness in the computation of benefits. With these aspects, the TWCC-3 form emerges as a fundamental document within the Texas workers' compensation system, facilitating a structured approach to benefit calculation.

CARRIER’S CLAIM #

Initial

Amended EMPLOYER’S WAGE STATEMENT

The Texas Workers' Compensation Act and Commission rules require an employer to provide an Employer's Wage Statement to its workers' compensation insurance carrier (carrier) and the claimant or the claimant’s representative, if any. The purpose of the form is to provide the employee's wage information to the carrier for calculating the employee's Average Weekly Wage (AWW) to establish benefits due to the employee or a beneficiary.

The AWW is based on the wages the employee earned in the 13 weeks immediately preceding the date of injury (or the wage a similar employee earned if the employee did not work the full 13-week period). "Wages" include all forms of remuneration payable to an employee for personal services, including fringe benefits. To simplify filing, employers may file wages in a monthly, biweekly, or weekly manner as discussed below.

NOTE - An employer who fails without good cause to timely file a complete wage statement as required by the Texas Workers' Compensation Act, Texas Labor Code, Section 408.063(c) and Commission Rule 120.4 may be assessed an administrative penalty not to exceed $500.00 for an initial offense and not to exceed $10,000.00 for a repeated administrative violation.

The employer shall timely file a complete wage statement in the form and manner prescribed by the Commission.

(1)The wage statement shall be filed (“filed” means received) with the carrier, the claimant, and the claimant's representative (if any) within 30 days of the earliest of:

(A)the employee’s eighth day of disability;

(B)the date the employer is notified that the employee is entitled to income benefits;

(C)the date of the employee’s death as a result of a compensable injury.

(2)The wage statement shall also be filed with the Commission within seven days of receiving a request from the Commission (Only When Requested).

(3)A subsequent wage statement shall be filed with the carrier, employee, and the employee’s representative (if any) within seven days if any information contained on the previous wage statement changes (such as if the employer discontinues providing a nonpecuniary wage that was initially continued after the date of injury).
