Temporary total disability benefits are paid when an injured worker cannot work at all during recovery. TTD benefits typically equal two-thirds (66.67%) of the worker's average weekly wage, subject to state maximum and minimum caps. Benefits continue until the worker reaches maximum medical improvement (MMI) or returns to work, whichever comes first.
