Nevada’s laws on short-term disability allow you to get**Temporary Partial Disability or Temporary Total Disability** payments through the workers’ compensation system if you sustain an injury on the job.

You may also receive short-term disability payments directly from an insurance policy. In some cases, you can get additional disability benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA) if you qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.
