For injuries beginning in 2006, the aggregate temporary disability benefit is capped at how many weeks from the start of the disability?

• A. 52 weeks
• B. 104 weeks
• C. 208 weeks
• D. 240 weeks

Answer: (B)

Temporary disability payments in California have an aggregate cap for a single injury. For injuries that begin in 2006, the total number of weeks you can receive temporary disability is limited to 104 weeks from the start of the disability—essentially a two-year limit. Once you reach 104 weeks, TD benefits stop for that injury unless a different status or benefit applies under the law. The weekly TD amount remains two-thirds of the worker’s wages up to the statutory maximum, but the key point for this question is the 104-week aggregate cap.
