State Disability Insurance

State Disability Insurance (SDI) is considered unearned income for ABD-MN individuals only.

SDI is considered earned income for AFDC-MN/MI individuals. All SDI income must be entered in the CalSAWS. When there is both an AFDC-MN/MI person and an ABD-MN person in the MFBU, CalSAWS will count it as earned income for the AFDC-MN/MI individuals and unearned for ABD individuals.

For CalSAWS SDI system entries [Refer to Job Aid (JA): Income Categories and Types in the System]

Disability Benefits Other than State

Disability payments from any source, other than State Disability Insurance Benefits (SDI/DIB) are to be considered unearned income. This includes private disability plans, Social Security benefits, etc.
