Did you know? In California, a pregnant worker whose job exposes them to health risks can file a State Disability Insurance (SDI) claim as soon as their doctor certifies that it is not medically safe to do their usual work. That could be as early as the first trimester for some workers.
And as of January 1, 2025, workers who earn less than roughly $62,000 a year can receive SDI payments of up to 90% of their income, making time off more accessible to support a healthy pregnancy.
In 2019, following advocacy by CRLA, Monterey County Health Department patients and physicians, and other allies, the State of California’s Employment Development Department (EDD) officially adopted a disability standard and guidance that made SDI more accessible for agricultural workers earlier in pregnancy.
While pesticide exposure sparked this advocacy project, the updated disability standard means pregnant Californians in any high-risk job now have clear guidance to access state disability insurance as soon as medically advisable.
