OK uses 70% of AWW. 156-week TTD limit.

Real example: how the Oklahoma cap works

A worker earning $2008/week in Oklahoma (above-average wage):

For a 26-week disability, that's $26,107 in total TTD benefits — substantially less than what 70% of full wage would pay.

If a third party contributed to the injury, the difference between full wage and capped benefit becomes part of a separate third-party personal injury claim.
