What does TJD mean in DISABILITY

Transient Job Disability (TJD) is a type of disability benefit that is available to workers who have recently become unable to perform certain aspects of their job duties. This type of benefit provides temporary income support while the worker looks for alternate employment or takes steps to address their disability in order to return to work.

To be eligible for TJD, individuals must meet the following criteria: they must have been employed at least 90 days before they became disabled; they must have worked an average of 30 hours per week during the 90-day period prior to becoming disabled; and they must show that their disability has prevented them from performing one or more essential functions of their job.

The amount of time it takes for a TJD claim to be processed will vary depending on the complexity of the case. Generally, it can take anywhere from one month to six months or more. Additionally, the amount of evidence required can also factor into how long it takes for a claim to be processed.

The amount of money an individual can receive through TJD will depend on several factors such as length of employment with the company prior to disability, average wages, and any state or federal tax liability associated with receiving benefits. Generally, individuals are eligible to receive up to 80% of their pre-disability wages after taxes.

Most medical conditions may be considered eligible under TJD including physical injuries/illnesses, psychological/emotional disabilities, and chronic illnesses or diseases such as cancer and HIV/AIDS. In general, an illness must interfere with one or more essential job functions in order to qualify for benefits under this program.
