I have been granted family medical leave status from my employer in order to take care of a sick relative. Can I apply for TDI and receive benefits?
No. RI TDI only pays benefits to workers who are ill or injured and does not extend benefits to persons taking care of a sick relative while on family medical leave (FMLA). Anyone who receives Temporary Disability Insurance must be certified by a licensed Qualified Healthcare Practitioner that they are disabled and unable to work.
