TTD benefits provide partial income replacement if an employee is unable to work for 5 days or more within a 20-day period. The maximum allowable monthly TTD rate changes every year, but an employee s benefits are fixed based on the date of injury or disease. TTD is generally paid every 14 days and is paid on a calendar day basis. Please note that the initial TTD payment is usually for a 5-day period. For example, an employee may only be able to work part-time.
Benefits can include vocational counseling, placement assistance, and retraining.
Once an approved workers compensation provider prescribes temporary restrictions, the supervisor must provide modified duty. If that is not possible, the employee will be provided modified duty with another department or campus. Once an appropriate modified position is established, the insurer will suspend TTD benefits.
