What is Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI)?
TDI, like workers' compensation and unemployment insurance programs, is a "wage
replacement" program. This means that if you are unable to work because of
an off-the-job sickness or injury and you meet the qualifying conditions of the
law, you will be paid disability or sick leave benefits to partially replace
the wages you lost. TDI does not include medical care.
Employers must provide TDI or sick leave benefits when employees are unable to work
because of a disability. The State does not pay TDI benefits; it makes sure
that every employer covered by the law provides benefits for the employer's
employees.
