Maine Revised Statutes Title 37-B. Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management § 823. Compensation for injuries received in line of duty

1. Average weekly wage. In computing the average weekly wage of any claimant under this section, the average weekly wage must be taken to be the earning capacity of the injured person in the occupation in which the injured person is regularly engaged.

2. Setoff. Any sums payable under any act of Congress or other federal program as compensation for death, disability or injury of emergency management workers must be considered with the determination and settlement of any claim brought under this section. When payments received from the Federal Government are less than an injured member would have been entitled to receive under this section, the injured member is entitled to receive all the benefits to which the injured member would have been entitled under this section, less the benefits actually received from the Federal Government.
