A:
Once you are MMI you are no longer temporarily disabled so the ttd checks are stopped. Until voc rehab starts there is little if any entitlement to weekly benefits. Depending on your circumstances your attorney may be able to get you paid for the period. If you have no attorney you should consider getting one
Good Luck
