STATE DISABILITY INSURANCE
The State of California has a partial wage‐replacement insurance
plan for California workers. The cost of this insurance is fully paid
by the employee through payroll deductions. The State Disability
Insurance program includes both Disability Insurance and Paid
Family Leave.
Disability Insurance
Employees who lose wages when an illness, injury or pregnancy‐
related disability prevents them from working and who meet all
the state eligibility requirements can collect disability insurance
benefits.
The benefits are calculated as a percentage of employee salary up
to a weekly maximum as specified by law, for up to 52 weeks.
Employees who apply for this benefit must provide written notice
of disability, including a doctor’s certificate stating the nature of
the disability and the expected date of return to work.
Employees are responsible for filing their claim and other forms
promptly and accurately with the Employment Development
Department. A claim form may be obtained from the Employment
Development Department online, by telephone, or in person.
