Effective April 1, 2006, employees in the nine bargaining units represented by SEIU, Local 1000 (units 1, 3, 4, 11, 14, 15, 17, 20, and 21) became eligible for SDI benefits. Payroll deductions for this benefit began Oct. 1, 2005.
Disability insurance pays part of your wages if you have to stop working because of a non-work-related illness or injury. SDI also includes paid family leave benefits.
SEIU is the only union that asked the State to switch its employees to SDI, which is paid for by employee payroll deductions. All other State employees remain in the NDI program, which is paid for by the employer.
