What are temporary total disability (TTD) benefits?
Temporary total disability (TTD) is compensation for the time an authorized physician determines an employee is unable to work because of the injury. TTD benefits are not paid for the first three days the employee is off unless they are off for a total of fourteen or more calendar days. TTD benefits are calculated at two-thirds of the average weekly wage not to exceed a maximum rate set by the legislature. Temporary total disability benefits cease when the doctor says the employee is able to return to work. Although TTD benefit wages are only two-thirds of the average wage, it is important to remember they are tax free. What is the waiting period? Temporary total disability cannot be paid for the first three days (waiting period) during which the employer is open and operating for business unless the disability exceeds fourteen days. How are TTD benefits calculated? TTD is based on two-thirds of the injured worker’s average weekly wage, up to the statutory maximum set by law. What docu
