§ 645. Amount payable

  • (a) In case of an injury enumerated in section 644 of this title, the employer shall pay to the injured employee 66⅔ percent of the employee’s average
    weekly wages, computed as provided in section 650 of this title and subject to the maximum and minimum weekly compensation rates, for the duration
    of the employee’s permanent total disability, but in no event shall the employee receive
    benefits for less than 330 weeks. Benefits under this section shall continue beyond
    330 weeks if the injury results in the loss of actual earnings or earning capacity
    after the injured employee is as far restored as the permanent character of the injuries
    will permit and results in the employee having no reasonable prospect of finding regular
    employment. (b) The amount of compensation payable under this section shall not include the payment
    of compensation under sections 640, 642, and 646. However, the payment of compensation
    under this section shall not occur until after the termination of compensation under
    section 642 or 646, or both. (Amended 1959, No. 191, § 3; 1963, No. 191, § 4; 1965, No. 67, § 3; 1967, No. 122, § 7; 1977, No. 182 (Adj. Sess.), § 11, eff. May 3, 1978; 1981, No. 204 (Adj. Sess.), § 7.)
