When individuals are injured on the job, they are typically entitled to receive Temporary Total Disability Benefits. This means that they will receive about 70% of their weekly earnings, which will help them cover their personal expenses.

According to the New Jersey Workers Compensation Act, they can receive these benefits if they are treated by an Authorized Doctor. However, once the doctor determines that the injured worker can return to work, the injured worker typically does not receive these benefits.
