DI 52135.165 New Jersey Public Disability Benefits (PDB)
New Jersey established a Temporary Disability Income (TDI) program in 1948. State
law permits employers to provide coverage for temporary disability through an approved
Private Plan or the State Plan.
Work-related injuries or illnesses are not compensable under the Temporary Disability
Benefits Law. A worker may be eligible for TDI benefits while workers' compensation
issues are being resolved. State law provides up to 26 weeks TDI benefits unless the
worker is paid SSA DIB.
This TDI benefit is a reverse offset plan and will not cause offset of DIB. Code reverse
offset per DI 52105.001E.3.
