What does the acronym TTD stand for in workers' compensation?

• A. Temporary Total Disability
• B. Total Temporary Disability
• C. Temporary Transfer Disability
• D. Time To Disability

Answer: (A)

Temporary Total Disability means the worker is temporarily unable to perform any work because of a work‑related injury or illness, so wage-replacement benefits are paid during that period. The “Temporary” part shows the condition isn’t permanent, and the “Total” part means there is no earning capacity at all while disabled. This is different from Temporary Partial Disability, where some work is possible but earnings are reduced, and from permanent classifications. So TTD stands for Temporary Total Disability. The other phrases aren’t standard terms in workers’ compensation terminology.
