The Washington Declaration of Entitlement — Totally Disabled Worker is a benefit program for those who are totally and permanently disabled and unable to work. This program provides financial assistance to workers who have become disabled due to a work-related injury or illness and are unable to work due to their disability. This program is administered by the Washington Department of Labor and Industries and is funded through a combination of employer contributions and employee contributions. There are two types of Washington Declaration of Entitlement — Totally Disabled Worker: permanent total disability and temporary total disability. Permanent total disability is for those whose disability is expected to last a lifetime, while temporary total disability is for those whose disability is expected to last for a certain period of time. In both cases, the applicant must meet medical and financial eligibility requirements in order to be approved for benefits. Benefits may include weekly payments, medical care costs, and other related expenses.
