In 2002, historic legislation was enacted to extend disability compensation to cover individuals who take time off of work to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, parent, or domestic partner, or to bond with a new child. Senate Bill 1661 established the Paid Family Leave insurance program, also known as Family Temporary Disability Insurance program, to be administered by the State Disability Insurance (SDI) program.
An estimated 13 million California workers who are covered by the SDI program will also be covered for Paid Family Leave insurance benefits commencing on or after July 1, 2004.
The Paid Family Leave law requires employers to provide the Paid Family Leave, DE 2511, brochure only to new employees and employees who request leave to care for a seriously ill family member or bond with a new child. Employers are not required to provide the Paid Family Leave insurance claim forms to their employees.
Employers may download and print the Paid Family Leave, DE 2511 I, brochure (PDF) from the EDD Internet site if they wish to provide the brochure to their new employees without ordering specific supplies from EDD. This method meets the statutory requirement and can be a quick and easy way to meet your immediate needs. To order brochures and forms from EDD, please use our Internet Order form.
