Temporary Disability Insurance
State: Rhode Island
Subject: State Disability Insurance
Statute/Code Cite: Temporary Disability Insurance Act, R.I. GEN. LAWS Sec. 28-41 et seq.
Summary:
Rhode Island's law provides partial wage replacement to eligible workers who are temporarily disabled or suffering from a serious medical condition and unable to work, including to women with pregnancy- or childbirth-related disabilities. The TDI program is funded through workers’ payroll contributions. Workers are eligible for up to 30 weeks of TDI or payments up to a maximum payment cap.
In 2012, the law was amended to eliminate the seven-day waiting period for workers to become eligible for TDI.
