Disability








         If you are unable to work due to an illness or injury, our disability plans will work together to provide a source of
         income to meet your needs. Disability insurance provides benefits that replace part of your lost income when you
         become unable to work due to a covered injury or illness.




           California State Disability
           If you experience a Short Term Disability claim, you are eligible for benefits provided by the state. California
           State Disability Insurance (SDI) is a partial wage-replacement insurance plan for California workers. The SDI
           program is state-mandated and funded through employee payroll deductions. SDI provides short term
           benefits to eligible workers who suffer a loss of wages when they are unable to work due to a non-work-
           related illness or injury, pregnancy, or childbirth. For more information on eligibility, benefit amounts, and
           instructions on how to file a claim for the SDI program please visit the EDD website at www.edd.ca.gov.
