Temporary total disability (TTD) benefits are available to injured workers who are completely off work due to a work-related injury in Minnesota. The amount of this benefit is calculated at 2/3 of the employee’s average weekly wage (AWW) at the time of the injury, but is subject to certain maximum and minimum amounts. For injuries on or before September 30, 1992, the maximum amount of temporary total disability benefits was based on 100% of the Statewide Average Weekly Wage (SAWW).
