Your Long Term Disability (LTD) payments are not considered Paid Family Leave.
LTD payments are in lieu of salary/wages you are not able to earn because of a disability. They are reported as taxable wages on Form W-2, since your employer paid the premiums.
Paid Family Leave (PFL) is a benefit for individuals who need to take time off work to:
- Care for a seriously ill child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered domestic partner.
- Bond with a new child entering the family by birth, adoption, or foster care placement.
- Participate in a qualifying event because of a family member’s (spouse, registered domestic partner, parent, or child) military deployment to a foreign country.
