During the period the treating doctor states that you are unable to return to work, you are entitled to receive temporary disability at the rate of 2/3 of your gross pay per week, payable at least every (2) weeks. If your injury occurred after January 1, 2009, the minimum you can receive is $143.75 and the maximum is $958.01 after January 1, 2012 the minimum is &151.57 and the maximum is $1,010.50. For injuries after January 1st 2017 the minimum is $175.88 and the maximum is $1,172.57. For injuries after 1/1/08, these benefits are payable no more than 240 weeks within a period of 5 years from the accident. If your injury occurred prior to that date, other rules apply and you may receive money for a shorter time period.

In the event the insurance company refuses to pay you temporary disability, you may obtain State Disability Benefits (SDI) from the California Employment Development Department (EDD). However, a doctor must confirm you are unable to work and he/she must fill out the appropriate forms from EDD.
