OAR 125-160-0020
Calculation of Permanent Disability Awards

A permanent disability award is calculated as two-thirds of the Inmate Hourly Wage Rate multiplied by the disability rating. The weekly amount is calculated in this manner. The Inmate Hourly Wage Rate, in effect on the date of release, is multiplied by 40, multiplied by .667, and multiplied by the disability rating. To convert to a daily benefit, the weekly amount is divided by seven. To convert to a monthly benefit, the weekly amount is multiplied by 4.35. A prosthetics allowance may be added to the permanent disability award. During confinement, permanent disability and training benefits are entirely limited to any training provided by the Oregon Department of Corrections.
