What are temporary disability benefits?
Temporary disability benefits are paid to an injured worker who is out of work for at least seven (7) consecutive days as a result of a work-related injury. Temporary disability benefits are approximately 70% of the injured employee’s weekly wage, but may not exceed 75% of the Statewide Average Weekly Wage or fall below a minimum rate of 20% of the Statewide Average Weekly Wage.
