TTD / Temporary Disability - payments issued as wage replacement, calculated at 2/3rds of the applicant's average weekly wage (AWW).
Temporary disability benefits end after 104 weeks (two years) (with few exceptions).
Temporary disability is paid by the worker's compensation carrier when a worker misses more than three days of work due to a work injury.
PD/ Permanent Disability - Permanent disability is intended to compensate an injured worker for residual physical disability sustained as a result of a work injury; Permanent disability payments start once an injured worker has reached MMI / Maximum Medical Improvement, also called permanent and stationary status or "P & S." This is the point at which your condition has stabilized and is unlikely to change significantly, either with or without treatment.
