What is the 2010 maximum temporary total disability (TTD) rate?

• A. $986.69
• B. $1,000.00
• C. $900.00
• D. $950.00

Answer: (A)

Temporary total disability benefits in California are calculated as two-thirds of the employee’s average weekly wage, but there is a yearly maximum cap. For 2010, the statutory ceiling is $986.69 per week, so the maximum TTD rate you can receive in that year is $986.69, regardless of what two-thirds of the AWW might otherwise amount to. The other options do not reflect the 2010 cap and therefore are not the maximum rate for that year.
