In Colorado, you are eligible for lost wages benefits if you miss more
than 3 days of work as a result of your injury. If you are totally unable to
work, you will receive 2/3 of your average weekly wage. This is known as
temporary total disability (TTD) benefits.
If you are working reduced hours
or reduced pay, you will receive 2/3 of the difference between what you
actually earn, and what you would have made if you had not been injured.
This is temporary partial disability (TPD).
There are some important restrictions on the eligibility to temporary
disability benefits. For example, if you are fired "for cause," it can be
very difficult to obtain lost wages. You
