In California

[tod]

My employer has hundreds of employees next month I will be permanent and stationary status. My Doctor released me for modified duty but work said its to slow for work so will I continue to recieve Workman Comp $881 a week or will I go to SSDI @ $230 a week? I seen my employers Doctor Sept 17th he said my knee is unstable I had a total dislocation of my knee and destroyed three tendons, had my ACL repaired Feb 14th,2008. The injury happend Oct 11th,2007 and the Doctor said I will be permanent and stationary one year from original injury date Oct 11th,2007. I just want to prepare myself and quit stressing over not knowing how much income I will be recieving in the months ahead. Im thinking because Im still modified duty that my Workman Comp has to continue @ $881 a week. Any and all replies will be greatly appreciated. And still clean and sober 13 plus years with great thanks to you all!

I don't know anything about your federal SSDI application and benefit level.
Glad you applied and got it so quickly - many have gotten repeated denials and had long waits.
work comp temporary disability payments will continue until the carrier is notified you are P&S (see previous post).
congratulations on C&S - tough times like these are when being strong pays off.

If you are released for modified duty and your employer does not bring you back you continue TTD until either the employer provides work or you are found P&S. Once you are found to be P&S you should begin receiving PPD advance payments. Just a warning these are much lower than what you currently receive in TTD. The length of time you receive these is dependant upon your final rating.

I would question how the doctor can say you will be P&S after 1 year. The determination would need to be made at the time. There is no specific time frame that says you will be P&S. There is a 104 week cap on TTD however.
