If you've gone back to work but at lower wages because of your injury, you may be getting Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) benefits. TPD is two-thirds of the difference between what you earned before and what you earn now.
- • TPD helps bridge the gap when you're earning less after an injury
- • You can save your result as a PDF receipt
- • Use gross pay (before taxes), not take-home pay

How this works
TPD is two-thirds of your "wage loss" — the difference between what you were earning before your injury and what you're earning now. Like TTD, there's a state maximum that depends on your date of injury. If you haven't gone back to work yet, you can use this to estimate what TPD might look like if you returned at lower wages.
