When an employee is injured in the workplace, the lost wages are paid as disability income benefits. The amount that the employee will receive will depend on the severity of the injury and how disabled they are. The following are the four types of disability benefits and a general explanation of each:nTemporary total disability: If you are unable to return to work in any capacity for a minimum of seven days, you are entitled to receive temporary total disability benefits on the eighth day. This benefit provides two-thirds of your weekly wage up to a maximum cap. The current cap in Maryland for 2022 is $1,338.00.nTemporary partial disability: When you are able to return to work, but not in the same capacity or you need to work fewer hours, you may be earning less money. With temporary partial disability benefits, you are eligible for two-thirds of the difference between your weekly wage before the injury and what you are earning now.
