Its non-taxed and its about 60% of your gross pay that you make on average for past 12 months. So lets say every 2 weeks you take home $1000 after taxes and deductions and what not. You will get a check for close to a $1000 from disability.
I thank god everyday that i am here in Cali rather than in my home state of Massachusetts that doesnt have a program like this. California is a rare state that has this! Look on the EDD website. All the information you need is there along with forms to download.

That is such a relief to know. I hope it wont come to that, but it helps to know that I wont have to worry to much about how to pay the bill. Thank you so much for telling me this nightnurse. I really appreciate it. I hope you are able to heal and recover over the next few months.
