		<ns0:Title> An act to amend, repeal, and add Sections 3301, 3302, and 3303 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, relating to disability compensation, and making an appropriation therefor. </ns0:Title>
		<ns0:RelatingClause>disability compensation, and making an appropriation therefor</ns0:RelatingClause>
		<ns0:GeneralSubject>
			<ns0:Subject>Paid family leave: eligibility: care for designated persons.</ns0:Subject>
		</ns0:GeneralSubject>
		<ns0:DigestText>
			<html:p>Existing unemployment compensation disability law requires workers to pay contribution rates based on, among other things, wages received in employment and benefit disbursement, for payment into the Unemployment Compensation Disability Fund, a special fund in the State Treasury. That fund is continuously appropriated for the purpose of providing disability benefits and making payment of expenses in administering those provisions.</html:p>
			<html:p>Existing law establishes, within the above state disability insurance program, a family temporary disability insurance program, also known as the paid family leave program, for the provision of wage replacement benefits for up to 8 weeks to workers who take time off work for prescribed purposes, including to care for a seriously ill family member. Existing law defines terms for its purposes, including family care
			 leave and family member.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would, commencing July 1, 2028, expand eligibility for benefits under the paid family leave program to include individuals who take time off work to care for a seriously ill designated person. The bill would define designated person to mean any care recipient related by blood or whose association with the individual is the equivalent of a
			 family relationship, and would make conforming changes to the definitions of the terms family care leave and family member.</html:p>
			<html:p> This bill would require an individual that requests for the first time family temporary disability insurance benefits to care for a designated person to identify the designated person and, under penalty of perjury, attest to how the individual is related by blood to the designated person, or how the individual’s association with the designated person is the equivalent of a family relationship. By expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, the
			 bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
			<html:p>By authorizing expenditures from the continuously appropriated fund for these expanded purposes, this bill would make an appropriation.</html:p>
			<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>

If the benefit is not a multiple of one dollar ($1), it shall be computed to the next higher multiple of one dollar ($1).

								An individual shall file a claim for family temporary disability
