TTD Benefits in Minnesota
Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits are the benefits you receive if you are unable to work due to your work-related injury. If eligible, you receive a weekly check that is approximately two-thirds of your wage at the time of your injury. In order to qualify for TTD benefits, the following must apply to you:
- You are no longer able to perform your job duties and your employer is unable to provide you with alternate duties.
- You receive benefits up to $850.00 per week for 130 weeks or until 90 days post-maximum medical improvement.
There are various exceptions in the law that may or may not apply to your situation. For example, if you work more than five days per week there is a different wage calculation.
