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. TD benefits are payments you receive if you lose wages because:
• Your treating doctor says you are unable to do your usual job for more than three days, or you are
hospitalized overnight;
and
• Your employer does not offer you other work that pays your usual wages while you recover.
What are the different types of TD benefits?
There are two 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.
How much are TD benefits?
As a general rule, TD benefits are two-thirds of the gross (pre-tax) wages you lose while you’re
recovering from a job injury. However, you can’t receive more than a maximum weekly amount or less
than a minimum weekly amount, as set by law.
You don’t pay federal, state, or local income taxes on TD benefits.
