Although it is good to increase the percentage for lower incomes for TTD’s it actually drops the percentage for PTD’s. People who are “middle “income or higher, usually have higher mortgages on homes (since they can afford to buy them), and losing a greater portion of their paychecks while on disability could cause them to lose their homes/cars, etc. It should have increased the rate for all income levels. This will likely also increase insurance costs, as payments would increase.
