Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) provides benefit payments to insured RI workers for weeks of unemployment caused by disability. The TDI program, enacted in 1942, was the first of its kind in the United States.  It protects workers against wage loss resulting from a non-work related illness or injury, and is funded exclusively by Rhode Island workers.  Only four other states; New York, New Jersey, California and Hawaii, as well as the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, have a TDI program.
Employer Education Series
Most individuals who work in Rhode Island, regardless of place of residence, are covered by TDI. (Exceptions include federal, state and some municipal employees as well as partners and non-incorporated self employed workers.)  To be eligible, an individual must meet certain earnings requirements and be medically certified by a certified health care provider as unable to work.
