Weekly TTD benefits are 66 and two-thirds percent of the AWW, subject to the limits described above. 

An employee is entitled to receive weekly TTD benefits while he or she is recovering from a work-related injury and is physically unable to perform any type of work as a result. The recovery period (and eligibility for TTD benefits) ends when a physician makes a reasonably reliable determination that the employee:

• Is permanently disabled, impaired or disfigured; or 
• No longer requires continued, regular treatment.

Eligibility for TTD benefits may also end sooner if an employee becomes physically able to earn wages in any type of employment. However, an employee who is no longer in the recovery period but participating in a vocational retraining program may also be entitled to TTD benefits, for up to 52 weeks. In addition, TTD benefits may be payable for any period of time during which an injured employee cannot work because he or she is being trained in the use of artificial members or appliances made necessary by a work-related injury
