For an injury in 2006, aggregate disability payments for temporary disability shall not extend for more than how many weeks from the start of temporary disability?

• A. 104 weeks from the commencement of TD
• B. 104 weeks from DOI
• C. 240 weeks from commencement of TD
• D. 240 weeks from DOI

Answer: (A)

Temporary disability payments are the wage replacement you receive when you can’t work due to a workplace injury. There’s a strict limit on how long these payments can continue for a single injury: 104 weeks. Importantly, that clock starts when temporary disability begins (the commencement of TD), not from the date of the injury itself. So for an injury in 2006, you can receive TD benefits for up to 104 weeks from when you first become temporarily disabled, within a two-year window. After that period, other benefits (like permanent disability or related programs) would come into play if applicable. The limit isn’t counted from the date of injury, and it isn’t 240 weeks, which is why the correct anchor is the start of temporary disability.
