* Four States (Rhode Island, California, N ew Jersey, and New York ) have enacted statutes pro­
vidin g protection froin loss o f wages because o f temporary disability arising out o f nonoccupational
causes.
The statutes o f California and N ew Jersey perm it the substitution o f private plans m eeting
specified standards for the State plan. The N ew York statute does not provide for a State plan but
requires em ployers to arrange for the benefits through insurance companies, a com petitive State fund,
or by self-insurance.
Rhode Island makes no provision for the substitution o f a private plan and,
therefore, does not a ffect the q u alification requirements o f private plans in that State. A detailed
summary o f these plans appears as appendix A in the Bureau's companion report, Digest o f One
Hundred Selected Health and Insurance Plans Under C o lle c tiv e Bargaining, Winter 1961—62 (BLS
Bulletin 1330, 1962).
