Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury or illness
which is not work-connected is mandatory' under State laws in C alifornia, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode
Island. Establishment plans which meet only the leg a l requirements are excluded from these data, but those
under which (1 ) employers contribute more than is le g a lly required or (2 ) benefits exceed those specified in the
State law are included.
In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out o f a State fund to which only employees
contribute. In each o f the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan.
State fund financing: In California, only em ployees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey,
em ployees and employers contribute; in New York , em ployees contribute up to a specified maximum
and employers pay the difference between the em ployees' share and the total contribution required.
Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, em ployees cannot be required to contribute
more than they would i f they were covered by the State fund; in New York, em ployees can agree
to contribute more i f the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the
benefit provided.
Federal legislation ( Railroad Unemployment Insurance A c t) provides temporary disability insurance benefits
to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether w ork-connected or not.
The legislation requires that employers
bear the entire cost of the insurance.
