What is Temporary Total Disability (TTD)? How is it paid?

TEMPORARY TOTAL DISABILITY (TTD)

TTD is the compensation payable when an injured worker is not able to work due to the allowed conditions in their claim. TTD is requested when the physician of record (POR) completes a C84. Once a period of temporary total disability has been authorized, it will generally continue as long a the POR continues to complete C84's.

TTD will end when:
  1. The POR releases an injured worker to full duty
  2. The injured worker actually returns to work or
  3. the injured worker is found Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).

HOW IS TEMPORARY TOTAL PAID?

TTD is paid at 72% of the Full Weekly Wage (FWW) for the first twelve (12) weeks of compensation. The FWW is based upon the average over all earnings for six (6) weeks prior to the date of injury. After the first twelve (12) TTD is paid at 66 2/3% of the Average Weekly Wage (AWW). The AWW is based upon the average over all earnings for one (1) year prior to the date of injury.
