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 | Benefits include temporary disability (TD) payments, which begin when your doctor says you can’t do your usual work for more than 3 days, or you are hospitalized overnight. You may be entitled to TD for up to 104 weeks | 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 | Learn more about your eligibility at EDD.ca.gov |
