One of the most common questions regarding workers’ compensation is how long an employee can expect to receive these benefits. The answer depends on multiple factors.
Typically, how long you can expect to receive workers’ comp benefits depends on your injury and how long it takes you to recover. Additionally, employees receive different benefits based on the type of disability they have, including permanent partial disability (PPD), total temporary disability (TTD), or permanent total disability (PTD).
Generally, for a partial disability, you can collect benefits for a maximum of 520 weeks (approximately 10 years), and for a total disability, you can receive benefits for the duration of your disability.
