If you lose more than five (5) days from work, whether or not they are consecutive, then you are entitled to receive weekly compensation benefits. If the total period of your disability is less than twenty-one (21) days, then your entitlement to benefits begins after the fifth day of disability and is not retroactive to the first day. However, if you remain out of work for twenty-one (21) days or more, then you will receive benefits from the first day that you began losing time.
