Temporary Partial Disability (“TPD”) Benefits

Temporary Partial Disability (“TPD”)

If an injured worker is under light duty restrictions that the Employer can accommodate, but the accommodated / light duty work does not allow the injured worker to make the same amount of money, then the injured worker is entitled to TPD benefits that should pay two-thirds of the difference between Claimant’s AWW and the weekly pre-tax light duty earnings.  Often, workers’ compensation Insurers will require each week’s light duty pay stub from the Employer before issuing these TPD payments since the amount of each week’s TPD check is dependent upon the amount earned working the light duty assignment of the Employer.
