2. If the employee has not fully recovered, but no further improvement is expected, then the employee can be deemed to have reached his or her Maximum Medical Improvement.
3. If 104 weeks have passed since the first day that the employee suffered Disability (lost wages) because of his or her injury, then the employee has reached MMI by operation of law.
