How long does temporary total disability (TTD) continue?

Employees who suffer a disabling workplace injury or occupational disease exposure that temporarily prevents them from working may be eligible for temporary total disability, or TTD. TTD is generally awarded for the time employees receive treatment and are restricted from work by a physician or an authorized treating physician. TTD benefits are typically two-thirds of an employee’s average weekly wage. Many states limit benefits to a certain amount per week and number of weeks.
