You are paying Temporary Disability pursuant to an award. How long do you have to file a petition to terminate liability for TD after terminating payments?

• A. 10 days
• B. 14 days
• C. 20 days
• D. 30 days

Answer: (A)

When you’re paying Temporary Disability under a workers’ comp award, you must act promptly to stop liability if the TD isn’t due anymore. The time to do that is within 10 days after you terminate TD payments. Filing a Petition to Terminate Liability for Temporary Disability within that 10‑day window formally asks the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board to stop the employer’s or insurer’s TD liability. It keeps the process moving and protects you from ongoing liability once payments have ceased. If you miss this deadline, termination of liability can be delayed or contested, which can leave you liable for TD longer than necessary.
