The Workers’ Compensation insurance company is supposed to pay 2/3rds of the difference between the old rate and the new rate.

It is called temporary partial disability or TPD.

Your regular pay will usually come from your employer and your TPD will come from Work Comp.

If your situation becomes permanent due to your doctor making your restrictions permanent, then you may be entitled the pay differential over your lifetime.

The Adjuster is either lazy, or neglects to make sure your check comes out on time.

The only real option is to keep calling and emailing until they get sick of you.

You can file a petition for penalties.

However the insurance company knows that by the time the petition for penalties is set for hearing the check will be sent to you.

Usually, slow paying you is just an annoying method of keeping money in the insurance company’s pockets and out of yours.

If there was a true dispute, the adjuster would let you know and you could react accordingly with setting depositions and getting ready for trial.

The best way to deal with the slow paying adjuster is to stay on top it with frequent phone calls and emails.
