  1. Are You Qualified? Temporary Total Disability Benefits 

  2. What are temporary disability benefits? • If your injury prevents you from doing your usual job while recovering, you may be eligible for temporary disability (TD) benefits.

  3. TD benefits are payments you receive if you lose wages due to: • Your treating doctor advised you are unable to do your usual job for more than three days, or you are hospitalized overnight; and • Your employer doesn’t offer you other work that pays your usual wages while you recover.

  4. What are the different types of TD benefits? • If you cannot work at all while recovering, you receive temporary total disability (TTD) payments • If you can do some work while recovering and your employer offers you this type of work, you receive temporary partial disability (TPD) payments if your wages while recovering are below a maximum limit set by law.

  5. How much are TD benefits? The information in this chapter gives you a rough idea of TD benefit amounts. Determining exact TD amounts can be complicated particularly for workers who: • Had a second job when injured • Had seasonal jobs • Had wages that rose or fell • Earned other income, such as tips, overtime, bonuses, housing, clothing, or car allowances • Were scheduled for a wage increase after the date of injury • Received TD benefits more than two years after the date of injury.
