The EDD’s State Disability Insurance program strives to make a difference for the workers unable to perform their duties due to medical issues, by providing them with financial support through carefully charted programs. This includes not only physical illnesses or injuries but also pregnancy and childbirth or elective surgeries. If a worker has paid a minimum of $300 in SDI deductions within a calendar year, they possibly qualify for the benefit. The EDD also sets requirements regarding timing and certifying medical conditions, along with the importance of actively looking for work. The exact amount of financial support can fluctuate with the salary, benefits being an estimate of wages earned five to 18 months prior to the claim. However, it’s important to remember that you only qualify for benefits if you’re under the care and treatment of a licensed medical professional.
