California’s Disability Insurance
California’s Disability Insurance provides essential financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury. This state-mandated program is designed to assist eligible workers by replacing a portion of their lost wages while they recover. It offers short-term benefits that cover a range of medical conditions, from pregnancy-related disabilities to serious illnesses. California’s Disability Insurance is funded through payroll deductions and administered by the Employment Development Department (EDD).
