What does TPD (Temporary Partial Disability) mean?
TPD means an injured worker is partially unable to work during the recovery and improvement process. TPD benefits are the wage-loss benefits that are provided when the doctor releases you to return to work and you have not reached MMI and you earn less than 80% of the pre-injury wage. The benefit is equal to 80% of the difference between 80% of the pre-injury wage and the post-injury wage.
