Can I use paid sick leave while receiving Disability Insurance benefits?

In California, individuals who receive Disability Insurance benefits from the State Disability Insurance program must be aware of how paid sick leave interacts with those benefits. Generally, if a person is receiving Disability Insurance benefits, they are already unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury. Using paid sick leave while on Disability Insurance is typically not permitted, as both forms of income serve the same purpose: replacing lost wages due to an inability to work. However, the specific terms of a person's employment and individual circumstances may affect this situation. It is advisable to carefully review the policies of the employer regarding paid sick leave and to monitor any relevant updates on California Disability Insurance regulations.
