How long is the waiting period for TTD benefits in Mark's case?

In Oklahoma, the waiting period for Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits is 3 days. This means that if an injured worker is unable to perform their job duties due to a workplace injury, they must experience this three-day waiting period before they can start receiving TTD benefits. It's important to note that this waiting period is designed to prevent claims for short-term disabilities that might not warrant compensation, ensuring that benefits are directed towards those who are genuinely unable to work for a more extended period due to their injury. If the employee remains unable to work beyond those three days, they can then receive compensation for the time lost after the waiting period has elapsed. This is in line with the regulations surrounding worker's compensation in Oklahoma.
