Hi All,
I mentioned on another board that my husband and I will start TTC this May!! We're elated!!
This question really pertains to California residents or individuals who know how California State Disability Insurance (SDI)/Paid Family Leave (PFL) works.
The questions I have are: how do I find out what my weekly benefit amount would be, for both SDI and PFL? How long will my SDI benefits be paid for? I recall it being 12 weeks however has that changed? I believe with PFL there's a maximum of 6 weeks for benefits, correct? They're distributing the weekly benefits on EDD Debit Cards now, how is one supposed to make mortgage payments that are electronically withdrawn from another account? Are the benefits tax free?
Any other information will be greatly appreciated!

Hi and welcome,
You may want to ask these questions on your local Bump board
Or your HR department
MrsVela07,
I wish I could be more helpful and answer all those questions... but I don't want to give you wrong info.
This I know for sure: Once you receive your EDD Debit card, you will be able to set up your account online and then set up a funds transfer directly to your existing bank account. This way, your mortgage payments, or any bill payments for that matter can be made without interruption. I believe they say it can take 24-72 hours from when the benefit is deposited onto your EDD Debit card for the funds to get into your bank account. For me, it is 24 hrs. Also, you can choose to transfer the whole amount or a specific amount, you can also choose to do automatic transfers that occur right after benefits are deposited, or you can do one-time transfers whenever you feel like it.
Hope this helped a bit.
Jenn
