It depends. Per the California Employment Development Department, "If you do not work because of a disability and receive Disability Insurance benefits, those benefits are not reportable for tax purposes. However, if you are receiving unemployment benefits, become ill or injured, and begin receiving Disability Insurance benefits; those benefits are considered a substitute for Unemployment Insurance and are reportable for tax purposes."
