This bill will increase the weekly wage replacement rate for Paid Family Leave (PFL) and state disability insurance (SDI), to up to 90%, to make them accessible and affordable to all of California’s families. California’s PFL and SDI programs allow workers to receive income when they cannot work because they are caring for a new child or seriously ill family member, or when they are temporarily unable to work because of their own health condition, including pregnancy. By raising the wage replacement rate, this bill will help ensure all California workers, especially pregnant and parenting workers and family caregivers – predominately women – can access PFL and SDI and to care for themselves and their loved ones when it matters most.
