S.C. Code Regs. 67-503 - Payment of Temporary Total and Temporary Partial Compensation
A. Medical,
surgical, hospital, and other treatment including medical and surgical supplies
are allowed from the first day of injury.
(1)
Temporary total or temporary partial compensation is incurred on the eighth
calendar day of incapacity and from the first day of incapacity if the injury
results in incapacity for more than fourteen calendar days. The seven and
fourteen day periods need not be consecutive days.
(2) Payment and acceptance of temporary
compensation files a claim.
B. When the employer's representative begins
to pay either temporary total or temporary partial compensation, or salary in
lieu of temporary compensation, the employer's representative shall complete
Section I of the Form 15, Temporary Compensation Report.
(1) The employer's representative shall file
the Form 15 with the Claims Department within ten days of the date of first
payment of compensation.
(2) The
employer's representative shall serve the Form 15 on the Claimant according to
R.67-211
with the claimant's first check.
C. When the compensation rate changes, the
employer's representative shall complete, file, and serve, as set out above, a
new Form 15.
(1) In an ongoing period of
temporary partial compensation where the rate varies from week to week, the
employer's representative shall report the first payment on the Form 15 as set
out above.
(2) Supplemental
payments shall be reported on the Form 15S, Supplemental Report of
Compensation, to be filed with the document stopping that period of temporary
partial compensation or with the Form 18, whichever becomes due
first.
D. If the
employer's representative does not pay temporary compensation, the claimant may
request a hearing to receive benefits according to R.67-207.
Payment of temporary total or temporary partial compensation does not prevent
the claimant from seeking any other benefits available under the Act.
