Health Care Insurance

In 2002 historic legislation was enacted to extend disability compensation to cover individuals who take time off work to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, parent, or domestic partner, or to bond with a new born child. Senate Bill 1661 established the Paid Family Leave insurance program, also known as Family Temporary Disability Insurance program, to be administered by the State Disability Insurance (SDI) program. An estimated 13 million California workers who are covered by the SDI program have also been covered for Paid Family Leave insurance benefits as of July 1, 2004.

Paid Family Leave is unemployment compensation disability insurance paid to workers who suffer a loss of wages when they take time off work to care for a seriously ill family member or bond with a new child. Workers can receive up to six (6) weeks of benefits that could be paid over a 12-month period.

Paid Family Leave Insurance is a component of the California State Disability Insurance (SDI) program. The Disability Insurance benefit portion compensates workers who suffer a wage loss when they can’t work because of their own illness or injury. The Paid Family Leave benefit compensates workers who suffer a wage loss due to the need to provide care for a seriously ill family member or to bond with a new minor child.

The Paid Family Leave insurance program is fully funded by employees’ who contribute to the SDI program. Beginning January 1 2004 employers were required to deduct the Paid Family Leave contributions from the wages of employees’ who contribute to the SDI program.
