That's a complicated question. There are limits to how long you can receive benefits. Without regard to these time limits, there are essentially three situations in which the insurer can stop your temporary total benefits without going to the State Board of Workers' Compensation for permission. (There are many other situations in which the State Board can suspend benefits.) If the authorized treating physician returns you to work on regular duty with no restrictions. If you return to work making the same amount of money as you were making when you were hurt. If the insurer follows the procedure set forth under O.C.G.A § 34-9-240 and Board Rule 240 concerning offering you light-duty work and you don't try to do it.
