This tool is currently designed for:

✓ W-2 employees currently employed full-time in California
✓ Birthing parents (pregnant women)
✓ People who have paid into CA SDI within the last 18 months
✓ Employees who have worked for their current employer for at least 12 months
✓ Employers with 5 or more employees
⚠ Short-term disability (STD) coverage is not yet factored into income estimates — STD policies vary significantly by employer. This feature is coming soon.

If you were recently laid off, work part-time, are self-employed, or are a non-birthing parent — this tool may not fully apply to your situation yet. We're working on expanding coverage. Visit CA EDD directly for the most complete information.
