To the best of my knowledge, there is no minimum time you have to be absent before you can collect worker's compensation payments, provided you are missing work due to an injury or illness related to working your position.

For a work-related injury, you should file a WC claim with your employer as soon as the injury occurs or the illness is diagnosed (in case of work-related exposure). Following this, there is a waiting period of lost wages before temporary disability (lost wage) payments come into play. That waiting period depends upon the state in which you were injured. For most states, that waiting period is 3 days (of lost wages). However the following states have different waiting periods:

5 Days - ID, MA, MS, MT, NV, ND

7 Days - AZ, AR, FL, GA, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MI, NE, NJ, NM, NY, NC, OH, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA
