Benefits when an injured worker cannot work at all for a limited period while recovering.

TTD pays a percentage of average weekly wage (often 66 2/3%) subject to min/max caps until MMI or return to work. Waiting periods may apply before benefits start.



A construction worker off work 8 weeks post-surgery receives TTD until released at MMI.
