Quick Definitions: "TPD Benefits"

"TPD" is short for Temporary Partial Disability. This is a type of weekly income benefit that may be payable after a work accident. It is "temporary" because there's a cap on the number of weeks that these benefits can be received by the injured worker, and it's "partial" because they're payable when the injured worker's ability to work a full schedule has been diminished--such as when you're only able to work 20 hours per week instead of 40. They are designed to compensate the injured worker for the partial loss of income as a result of the work injury.
