7. Kentucky workers compensation law requires that a worker that suffers a work injury must miss work seven consecutive days before he or she is eligible to receive Kentucky workers compensation benefits, which would be temporary total disability (TTD) benefits. If the injured worker misses more then 14 days, he or she will then receive benefits covering the first 7 days missed.
