Non-Industrial Disability Insurance

Non-Industrial Disability Insurance (NDI) covers excluded employees and rank-and-file employees in bargaining units 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 18, and 19. Employees in other units are covered under State Disability Insurance for State Employees.

Benefits of NDI

NDI pays part of your wages should you take a qualified leave, typically due to illness or injury. The State employer pays for NDI; you pay nothing.

For 26 weeks, NDI provides

  • 50% of your gross pay if you are enrolled in the Annual Leave program or
  • up to $135.00 per week if you're not.

You may need to exhaust sick leave before NDI commences. Check your bargaining unit contract for more information.

To file an NDI claim, ask a question, or check on a claim
