If there is a money award made to a claimant by the WCB and the written decision lists “TR” (“tentative rate”) next to the weekly figure, then the weekly rate is “temporary” (tentative.)
In other words, it is not written in stone and can be changed. The primary purpose here is for situations in which the judge or Board has conflicting medical reports or currently lacks the necessary information to calculate the exact weekly money rate that is owed. Instead of paying nothing until the conflict is resolved or the information is obtained, the Board awards a TR for the time being and then revisits this weekly rate, and possibly modifies it retroactively, at a later hearing.
