Temporary Worker's Compensation and Temporary Disability Indemnity

TWC and TDI payments are considered to be disability based income when such payments are:

  • Employer funded, and
  • Made to an individual who remains employed during recuperation from a temporary illness or injury pending their return to the job, and
  • Specifically characterized under State law as temporary wage replacements.

Unconditional Income

If an applicant appears to be eligible for TWC/TDI, an application for these benefits must be made. If the customer refuses or fails to do so, then there is no eligibility for the AU or that specific individual. Refer to Potentially Available Income for clarification.
