What is the difference between Workers Compensation (WC) benefits and State Disability Insurance (SDI) benefits?
SDI pays a weekly benefit when an injury or illness is NOT caused by or related to your work. SDI benefits are paid for a temporary period of time only. WC helps workers when their injury or illness is work-related. WC may also pay medical bills, benefits for temporary or permanent disabilities, and retraining benefits.
