The State of California’s disability fund, often listed as CASDI or CA Disability Employee on paystubs, deducts about 1% of the workers’ income. This fund currently allows workers to receive 60% of their income when they require disability leave or paid family leave. However, changes coming into effect in January will increase these benefits. Workers earning around $60,000 or less annually will now receive 90% of their income. Other workers will receive 70%.

The funding for this change will come from removing caps that previously limited contributions from higher earners. Earlier, workers only paid into the fund a percentage of their income, up to a maximum of $153,164 in 2023. Now, the cap is lifted, and all workers will contribute the same percentage, set to be 1.2% by 2025.
