Overview
This bill amends California’s family temporary disability insurance program to broaden the definition of ‘covered active duty.’ Currently, it covers deployments to foreign countries. This revised definition now includes training, deployments not to foreign countries, and calls to state active duty for members of the Reserve Components of the Armed Forces. This expansion allows for funding from the program’s continuously appropriated fund to cover these expanded circumstances.
Key provisions
- Expands the definition of ‘covered active duty’ to include training.
- Includes deployments not to foreign countries as ‘covered active duty’.
- Adds call or order to state active duty to the definition of ‘covered active duty’ for Reserve Components.
- Authorizes expenditures from the Unemployment Compensation Disability Fund for these expanded purposes.
- Clarifies that periods of family care leave for the same recipient within a 12-month period are considered one disability benefit period.
- Considers pregnancy and bonding periods as one disability benefit period.
Who is affected
- Military personnel (Regular Armed Forces and Reserve Components)
- Individuals eligible for family temporary disability insurance benefits
- Families of military personnel
