Disabled workers are covered under workers' compensation medical expense benefits for how long?

Sagot :

Temporary disability benefits are paid to injured workers when they are unable to work due to their injuries. This rate is two-thirds of a worker's average weekly wage. These benefits are limited to 104 weeks for him within 5 years from the date he was injured.

Some states limit how long injured workers can receive temporary benefits. This range is 3 to 7 years. However, permanent disability benefits usually have no cap. However, in some states, weekly benefits stop when a worker reaches the age of 65.

Many states limit TTD benefits to a certain number of weeks (often 104 weeks, sometimes up to 500 weeks). Even in restricted states, benefits may be extended longer for certain serious medical conditions (such as HIV, certain hepatitis and lung diseases, amputations, and severe burns).
