Temporary Total Disability (TTD) Benefits: When an employee's injuries or sickness render them temporarily unable to work, they may be eligible for TTD benefits. These benefits provide two-thirds of the worker's average weekly wage and are typically paid until the individual has recovered and can return to work. 2. Permanent Total Disability (LTD) Benefits: In cases where an employee has experienced permanent and total impairment due to their injuries or sickness, they may qualify for LTD benefits. These benefits are designed to provide long-term financial support, often at a rate of two-thirds of the worker's average weekly wage. 3. Temporary Partial Disability (TED) Benefits: If an employee can still work, but their injuries or sickness limit their earning capacity or require them to take on a lower-paying job, they may be entitled to TED benefits. These benefits aim to compensate for the wage difference between the pre-injury and post-injury roles. 4. Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) Benefits: For employees who have suffered permanent but partial impairment, PPD benefits are available. These benefits are based on specific formulas that consider the nature and degree of the impairment, providing fair compensation for the worker's permanent loss.
