Have you or a family member been quarantined due to a suspected or diagnosed case of COVID-19? This webinar will cover Disability and Paid Family Leave for workers. These programs provide partial wage replacement ranging from $50 to $1,300 per week* funded through the CA State Disability Insurance (SDI) payroll deduction.
Paid Family Leave pays benefits if you need time off work to care for a seriously ill family member OR to bond with a new child.
Disability Insurance provides partial wage replacement benefits for your own illness, injury, pregnancy or disability. This includes: elective surgery, alcoholism and drug addiction treatment and recovery, and pregnancy, childbirth or other related post-partum conditions.
Who is Eligible?
- people with a suspected or diagnosed case of COVID-19 (you do not need to be tested to qualify, your doctor can certify a suspected case through a video appointment)
- people caring for a family member with a suspected or diagnosed case of COVID-19
Other non-COVID-19 circumstances that may qualify you for these programs:
- pregnancy / childbirth
- a new child joining your family
- caring for an ill or aging family member (not infected with COVID-19)
- non-work-related illness or injury
This seminar will cover: who is eligible, how to apply, how much leave is offered, and approximately how much money an employee can receive during leave.
IMPORTANT: These programs are funded through the CA State Disability Insurance (SDI) payroll deduction, therefore only workers who have W2 income (including s corp/loan-out owners) will be eligible.
