State Disability Insurance is an income replacement program administered through the State of California through the Economic Development Department. You must be an eligible worker to apply for it (e.g. most government workers are not eligible), must have worked a minimum number of hours, and be deemed disabled in order to receive the State Disability income benefits.
State disability insurance is a government mandated program that many people mistakenly believe they have, but don't. Only five states require private workers to participate in a short term disability program: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Forty five states do not have mandated state short term disability.
Social Security Disability Insurance is managed at the state level, but is a federally funded program. Temporary disabilities are not covered.
