TEMPORARY DISABILITY

Temporary disability is the weekly payment you receive while you are off work due to an on-the-job injury. You will receive 70% of your average weekly wage up to a maximum of $528.00. These payments continue as long as:

1. You are off work, at the direction of your treating doctor; and
2. You are receiving medical treatment with the expectation that your condition will improve in the near future.

Your temporary disability payments will stop if:

1. You return to work at any job;

or

2. You are released by your treating physician whether you are able to return to work or not;

or

3. Your treating physician gives you a percentage disability rating in his record or in a report to the employer’s insurance company;

or

4. Your treating physician feels that you will not get any better on a long-term basis even though you may still need treatment to minimize your symptoms on a day-to-day basis.

Your employer can stop this weekly check at any time if a Form 3 has not been filed on your behalf.
