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