There are four basic types: temporary income benefits (TIBS), impairment income benefits (IIBS), supplemental income benefits (SIBS), lifetime income benefits (LIBS) and death income benefits (DIBS)
SIBS are paid if you have at least a 15% impairment rating, the impairment benefits have expired, and you meet the filing criteria for a given thirteen week "qualifying period."
LIBS are paid when you have a severe injury that fits into one of several special categories written into the law.
