Temporary Total Disability (TTD) Workers Compensation Benefits

This benefit is paid to an employee who is unable to work as determined by the authorized treating physician.  If the treating physician determines that you are totally disabled for a period of time you will receive this weekly benefit.   This amount paid each week is two-thirds of the injured workers’ average weekly wage at the time of the accident. This amount cannot exceed the maximum amount set by Georgia’s law, which is currently $500.  If the injured worker is a high wage earner he or she can still only receive a maximum of $500 per week while totally disabled.
