WC benefits follow the IW as long as a Dr certifies eligibility.
Even if you are terminated from your job, the WC benefits continue.
WC laws are state specific...in some states, there is a cap on wage replacement, or TTD/Temporary Total Disability payments, generally TTD is capped at 104 weeks.
In some states, the TD is included in a cap on the amount of money you can recover in the claim...IE 400 weeks total, some by a dollar amount.
As you don't provide your state... can't offer much more.

What is workers compensation?
Workers' compensation systems (workers comp or compo) exist to protect employees who have incurred work-related injuries. These laws are usually a feature of highly developed industrial societies. Employees' compensation laws are often only implemented after long and hard fought struggles by trade unions, particularly in early industrialisation. There are often benefits available to dependents of workers killed on the job as well. Employees' compensation laws were first enacted in Europe and Oceania, with the United States following shortly thereafter. Workers' compensation programs were a key component of the labor structure of the former Soviet Union and similar societies, as communists are known to take workers' rights seriously.

Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service, or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury. If part of your workers' compensation reduces your social security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits received, that part is considered social security (or equivalent railroad retirement) benefits and may be taxable.

Is workman's compensation necessary?
Workers Compensation is necessary because an employee who is injured at his / her job can collect medical benefits, salary & scheduled bodily injury compensation while he / she is hurt without having to sue his / her employer first and prove negligence in order to get compensated. Workers Compensation is meant to be insurance to help the employee while injured until he / she is able to return to work. Without this insurance, employees would have to sue their employers (with money they don't have) and win before getting compensated. This form of 'no-fault' insurance for injured employees was supposed be an 'exclusive remedy' between employee and employer. Unfortunately, attorneys have intervened in the process and added extra costs and problems to the system.
