Temporary Disability (TDI) and Family Leave Insurance (FLI)

New Jersey Disability (TDI) and Family Leave Insurance (FLI)

NJ Temporary Disability Insurance provides cash benefits to employees in New Jersey who are unable to work due to a physical or mental health condition or other disability unrelated to their work, including pregnancy/childbirth recovery. Click here to download a printable handout about the program.

Temporary Disability Insurance is a wage replacement program and it does not provide job protection. However, during the period in which an employee receives these benefits, their job may be protected under federal law. In addition, if an employer retaliates against an employee for taking or seeking to take Temporary Disability Insurance benefits, they have the right to take private legal action. Learn more about job protection here.

You may be eligible for Temporary Disability Insurance benefits if your physical or mental illness or injury prevents you from working and was not caused by your work. You may apply for Family Leave Insurance benefits if you are bonding with a newborn, newly adopted, or newly placed foster child.
