class=\"kb-meta\">By Attorney Manny Chahal &middot; Updated July 2026 &middot; Reading time: ~5 min<\/p>\n<p class=\"kb-lead\">Yes. If a car crash injures you and keeps you off the job, Michigan no-fault insurance pays what the law calls work loss benefits: 85 percent of the wages you would have earned, for up to three years. These benefits come from your own no-fault policy under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Laws\/MCL?objectName=MCL-500-3107\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u0a10\u0a2e\u0a38\u0a40\u0a10\u0a32 500.3107<\/a>, and you claim them no matter who caused the crash.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">What work loss benefits actually cover<\/h2>\n<p>Work loss replaces the income you lose because your injuries stop you from doing your job. It is one of the personal injury protection (PIP) benefits built into every Michigan auto policy. You do not have to prove the other driver was at fault to receive it. You claim it from your own insurer, or from the insurer assigned to you if you do not have your own coverage.<\/p>\n<p>The benefit is meant to cover real earnings you would have brought home. That includes regular pay, and it can include overtime, tips, and self-employment income when you can document it. What it does not cover is your medical bills or your pain and suffering. Those are separate parts of a claim.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">How much you get, and why it is 85 percent<\/h2>\n<p>Michigan pays 85 percent of your lost gross wages, not 100 percent. The law sets it at 85 percent because these benefits are not taxed. The idea is that 85 percent of your gross pay lands close to what your take-home pay would have been after taxes.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a monthly ceiling. The state adjusts that ceiling every October to keep pace with the cost of living, and the Department of Insurance and Financial Services announces the new figure each year. The ceiling that applies to your claim is the one in effect on the date of your crash, and it stays fixed for your claim even as the number rises in later years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kb-cite\"><strong>Current maximum:<\/strong> For crashes that occur between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026, the work loss benefit is capped at $7,201 per month. For crashes in the prior year, October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025, the cap was $7,014 per month. Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Laws\/MCL?objectName=MCL-500-3107\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u0a10\u0a2e\u0a38\u0a40\u0a10\u0a32 500.3107(1)(\u0a2c\u0a40)<\/a> and the annual DIFS maximum benefit bulletin.<\/div>\n<table class=\"kb-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>What you are asking<\/th>\n<th>Michigan no-fault answer<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>How much of my pay?<\/td>\n<td>85 percent of your gross wages, and it is not taxed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Is there a limit?<\/td>\n<td>Yes. $7,201 per month for crashes on or after October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The cap on the date of your crash is the one that counts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How long does it last?<\/td>\n<td>Up to three years from the date of the crash.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>What if I was between jobs?<\/td>\n<td>You may still qualify if you were temporarily unemployed and would have been working.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Do I need proof?<\/td>\n<td>Yes. A doctor&#8217;s disability note and wage records from your employer.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">How long the benefit lasts<\/h2>\n<p>Work loss benefits run for a maximum of three years from the date of the crash. If your injuries keep you out of work past that three-year mark, the no-fault work loss benefit stops, though a separate claim against an at-fault driver may reach future losses in some cases. If you recover and return to work before the three years are up, the benefit ends when your wage loss ends.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">What if you were not working when the crash happened<\/h2>\n<p>You can still qualify if you were temporarily unemployed at the time of the crash, or if you were about to start a job. Michigan law under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Laws\/MCL?objectName=MCL-500-3107a\" rel=\"nofollow\">MCL 500.3107a<\/a> treats a person who was temporarily unemployed and looking for work as someone whose earnings can be estimated from recent work history. The insurer looks at what you were earning before, and what you would reasonably have earned, rather than simply denying the claim because you had no paycheck that week.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">The deadlines that can quietly cost you the money<\/h2>\n<p>Two time limits matter, and missing either one can shrink or erase what you collect.<\/p>\n<p>First, written notice. You generally must give your insurer written notice of the injury within one year of the crash, or file a claim in that window. Second, the one-year-back rule. Even after a claim is open, you can only recover benefits for losses that were incurred in the year before you file suit. Wait too long and older months of wage loss drop off, even if the insurer wrongly refused to pay them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kb-cite\"><strong>Watch the clock:<\/strong> The one-year notice requirement and the one-year-back rule both come from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Laws\/MCL?objectName=MCL-500-3145\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u0a10\u0a2e\u0a38\u0a40\u0a10\u0a32 500.3145<\/a>. Acting early protects the full value of your wage loss.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">Proof you will need<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A disability note.<\/strong> A treating doctor must document that your injuries prevent you from doing your job, and for how long.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wage records.<\/strong> Recent pay stubs, W-2s, or, if you are self-employed, tax returns and profit records that show what you were earning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>An employer statement.<\/strong> Confirmation of your position, rate of pay, hours, and the time you missed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Insurers often delay or deny work loss claims by arguing the medical proof is thin or the wage documents are incomplete. Clean, timely records are the difference between a benefit that pays on time and one you have to fight for.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kb-related\">\n<h4>\u0a38\u0a2c\u0a70\u0a27\u0a24 \u0a17\u0a3f\u0a06\u0a28-\u0a05\u0a27\u0a3e\u0a30\u0a3f\u0a24 \u0a32\u0a47\u0a16<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"\/michigan-talking-to-insurance-adjuster-after-accident-2026\/\">Should You Talk to the Insurance Adjuster in Michigan?<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/pa\/michigan-passenger-car-accident-who-pays-2026\/\">Hurt as a Passenger in Michigan: Whose Insurance Pays?<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/pa\/michigan-mini-tort-car-damage-who-pays-2026\/\">Who Pays to Fix My Car After a Michigan Accident?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"kb-h2\">\u0a05\u0a15\u0a38\u0a30 \u0a2a\u0a41\u0a71\u0a1b\u0a47 \u0a1c\u0a3e\u0a02\u0a26\u0a47 \u0a38\u0a35\u0a3e\u0a32<\/h2>\n<div class=\"kb-faq\">\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">Do I get work loss benefits even if the crash was my fault?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Work loss is a PIP benefit that comes from your own no-fault coverage regardless of fault. Fault matters for a separate claim against the other driver, not for these benefits.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">Are work loss benefits taxed?<\/h3>\n<p>No. That is why the law pays 85 percent of gross wages rather than the full amount. The 85 percent figure is designed to approximate your after-tax pay.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">What if my monthly wages are higher than the cap?<\/h3>\n<p>The no-fault benefit is limited to the monthly maximum in effect on your crash date, which is $7,201 for crashes between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026. Wage loss above that cap may be recoverable through a claim against an at-fault driver, depending on the facts.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"kb-h3\">How soon should I report my wage loss?<\/h3>\n<p>As soon as you can. The one-year notice requirement and the one-year-back rule both punish delay, and older months of lost wages can fall outside what you are allowed to recover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kb-cta\">\n<h3>Free consultation with Manny Chahal<\/h3>\n<p>\u0a1c\u0a47\u0a15\u0a30 \u0a05\u0a38\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a35\u0a38\u0a42\u0a32 \u0a28\u0a3e \u0a15\u0a30 \u0a38\u0a15\u0a47 \u0a24\u0a3e\u0a02 \u0a15\u0a4b\u0a08 \u0a2b\u0a40\u0a38 \u0a28\u0a39\u0a40\u0a02\u0964.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn\" href=\"tel:18446242425\">1-844-624-2425 '\u0a24\u0a47 \u0a15\u0a3e\u0a32 \u0a15\u0a30\u0a4b<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"kb-disclaimer\" style=\"margin:48px 0 24px;padding:24px 28px;background:#f8fafc;border-left:4px solid #fbbf24;border-radius:6px;font-family:'Cormorant Garamond','EB Garamond',Georgia,serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.65;color:#334155;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-family:'Inter','Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.18em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#0b1220;\">\u0a15\u0a3e\u0a28\u0a42\u0a70\u0a28\u0a40 \u0a2c\u0a47\u0a26\u0a3e\u0a05\u0a35\u0a3e<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#334155;\">Attorney advertising under Michigan RPC 7.1-7.3.
