Can Sup TD benefits be paid on a nondisabling claim?

Supplemental Temporary Disability (Sup TD) benefits can indeed be paid on a nondisabling claim when certain conditions are met. A nondisabling claim typically refers to a situation where the injury does not prevent the worker from performing their job duties. However, Sup TD benefits are still available to provide additional financial support if the worker meets specific eligibility criteria, such as working restrictions or a valid claim for lost income.

In the context of nondisabling claims, it's crucial to recognize that even if the injury does not disable the worker, there can still be situations affecting their ability to earn income or requiring compensation for medical expenses. Thus, Sup TD can serve as a support for these individuals, allowing them to navigate their recovery without severe financial strain.

Other options incorrectly suggest limitations on the distribution of Sup TD benefits, such as restricting it only to cases involving actual disability or imposing waiting periods not associated with nondisabling claims. Understanding the nuances of eligibility criteria is essential for able workers to access the benefits they need effectively.
