What will happen if Im unable to work because of my on-the-job injury?
You are entitled to receive weekly temporary total disability benefits if you miss more than seven days from work. Only if you are out more than 21 consecutive days due to your injury will you be paid for the first seven days. Your first check should be mailed to you within 21 days after the first day of disability. You will receive two-thirds of your average weekly wage, but not more than the maximum rate provided by the Workers Compensation act at the time of your injury. Your authorized treating physician must verify your disability and absence from work.
