Intro to New Jersey’s TDB & FLI Programs

New Jersey was the 3rd U.S. State that required Temporary Disability Benefits (TDB), beginning on January 1st, 1948. Meanwhile their Family Leave Insurance (FLI) program didn’t come around until 2009. Eligible Employees can take up to 26 weeks of combined paid leave for various family or personal health related reasons. Employers may meet their obligations under the State Plan, or can opt for a Private Plan.
