Bill > SB1090

This bill aims to improve the administration of unemployment insurance, disability, and paid family leave claims in California. The key provisions are: 1. It requires the Employment Development Department (EDD) to issue the initial payment for unemployment compensation disability benefits within 14 days of receiving the claimant's properly completed first disability claim, or as soon as eligibility begins, whichever is later. This applies to the paid family leave program as well. 2. It allows individuals to initiate the disability and paid family leave claims process up to 30 days in advance of the anticipated first compensable day. 3. It repeals the requirement that eligible workers receive benefits generally in accordance with unemployment and disability compensation law, and instead establishes specific provisions for the paid family leave program. 4. These changes are set to become operative when incorporated into the EDD's integrated claims management system as part of the EDDNext project. The bill is intended to streamline the claims process and ensure more timely delivery of benefits to eligible workers in California.
