I was out of work for 3 months this year on FMLA and received short term disability payments for maybe 1/3 of that time. Does this count as “paid family leave”

The pay was 60% of normal pay, not full pay

No. FMLA is unpaid so it can't be considered paid family leave. However, the portion you got paid for may be Paid Family Leave.

• See What is Paid Family Leave (PFL)?

The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles eligible employees to take an unpaid, job-protected leave of up to 12 workweeks in a 12-month period for family- and medical-related reasons.

At some employers that would be a paid medical leave.
