The California Unemployment Insurance Code, Section 2656, provides that wages received during a period of disability or family care leave, plus DI or PFL benefits, cannot exceed the employee’s normal gross weekly wage (excluding overtime pay) immediately prior to the commencement of the disability or period of family care leave. The SDI programs (DI and PFL) are wage replacement programs, meaning that if an employee should stop working due to a disability or due to the need to care for an eligible family member, the employee must be suffering a wage loss to qualify for SDI benefits.
