California law typically limits temporary total disability benefits to no more than 104 weekly payments. These payments can be spread over a five-year period, but it is also possible for an injured worker to qualify for an extension. They must undergo an additional medical examination to prove that they are still unable to work. When the claimant receives their final benefit payment, they will also receive a form for them to have this medical evaluation completed. Ask your attorney if you are unsure how to extend your disability benefits, and they can assist you in meeting the requirements.
