How to Apply for Paid Family Leave

FTDI is funded through employee payroll deductions to State Disability Insurance. The estimated average cost is $27 per worker per year, divided between your monthly, biweekly or weekly pay period.

If you do not see an SDI deduction on your pay stub, ask your employer or human resources representative if you are covered by the SDI program.

You may request a claim form online or by phone. Claim forms cannot be downloaded or faxed.
