Integration of Wages with Benefits

Integration of wages with Disability Insurance (DI) and Paid Family Leave (PFL) benefits, also known as coordination or supplementation, can help you to receive up to 100 percent of your normal weekly salary during your DI or PFL benefit period.

You can use any combination of your available leave credits together with your claim benefits. Leave credits can include:

• Sick leave.
• Vacation leave.
• Other paid time off.
• Short-term or long-term disability plans provided by your employer.

You cannot receive more than 100 percent of your normal weekly salary during your DI or PFL benefit period. You and your employer are both responsible to review the benefit information to make sure wages are integrated correctly.

For example, your current gross (before taxes and deductions) weekly wage is $500. The weekly benefit amount from DI or PFL is $275. The $500 minus $275 equals a $225 per week wage loss. Your employer can integrate a maximum amount of $225 per week in gross wages to you, allowing you to receive 100 percent of your normal weekly gross pay.

Note: Leave credits can be used during the seven-day waiting period for DI claims. PFL does not have a benefit waiting period, so wage integration can start on the first day of the PFL claim unless the employer requires two weeks of vacation pay to be used first.

San Francisco workers: Your employer may be required to provide supplemental compensation to you if you are receiving PFL benefits for bonding with a new child through birth, adoption, or foster care placement.
