Q: Once an initial monthly statement is submitted to workers' comp, how long should it take to receive payment?
My status changed from Temporary Total to Temporary partial in
late September. Last bi-weekly payment was early October.
How can I ensure that payments are made in a timely manner and I am not subjected to the whim of the adjuster on when they want to pay?
A: Your temporary partial disability (TPD) payments are payable every 30 days, so you should be due again if you're still on the same work status. You also should already have received and sent back to the adjuster your monthly report of job search attempts (mandatory, at least an average of 3 a week - you typically may satisfy this requirement by registering with job search engines like careerbuilder.com, indeed.com, ziprecruiter.com, monster.com, and similar sites) and income, if any, which is used to calculate your TPD amount. We available for a free consultation by telephone or in the office, and we offer flexible fees depending on the nature of your injury and the status of your claim. You may call 602-777-6666 and you will be connected to my paralegal for information about your case; please let him know you found us through Justia. You also should know we do not accept claims for federal and Native American tribal employees. Thank you
