Why
If you're unable to work due to medical quarantine or illness related to COVID-19 (certified by a medical professional)
Benefits
Approximately 60-70 percent of wages (depending on income); ranges from $50-$1,300 a week for up to 52 weeks.
Paid Family Leave
Up to six weeks of benefit payments to eligible workers who have a full or partial loss of wages because they need time off work to care for a seriously ill family member.
Why
If you're unable to work because you are caring for an ill or quarantined family member with COVID-19 (certified by a medical professional)
Benefits
Approximately 60-70 percent of wages (depending on income); ranges from $50-$1,300 a week for up to 6 weeks.
Unemployment Insurance
Partial wage replacement benefit payments to workers who lose their job or have their hours reduced, through no fault of their own.
Why
If you have lost your job or have had your hours reduced for reasons related to COVID-19
Benefits
Range from $40-$450 per week for up to 26 weeks.
Paid Sick Leave
The leave you have accumulated or your employer has provided to you under the Paid Sick Leave law.
Why
If you or a family member are sick or for preventative care when civil authorities recommend quarantine
Benefits
Paid to you at your regular rate of pay or an average based on the past 90 days.
Workers' Compensation
Benefits include temporary disability (TD) payments, which begin when your doctor says you can't do your usual work for more than three days or you are hospitalized overnight. You may be entitled to TD for up to 104 weeks. TD stops when either you return to work, your doctor releases you for work, or your doctor says your illness has improved as much as it's going to.
Why
If you are unable to do your usual job because you were exposed to and contracted COVID-19 during the regular course of your work, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
Benefits
TD generally pays two-thirds of the gross wages you lose while you are recovering from a work-related illness or injury, up to maximum weekly amount set by law. In addition, eligible employees are entitled to medical treatment and additional payments if a doctor determines you suffered a permanent disability because of the illness.
