1101.0. "Disability Tax?" by SDOGUS::ARVIDSON (Just look at the size of those tomatos, Jack!) Thu May 10 1990 13:54

While examining my paystub closer than I usually do, I noticed a tax
I haven't noticed before...'Disability Tax'  What is this?  It's located
in the Current/YTD summary section.

I just relocated to California; is it something particular to this
state?

    Yep, It is the state disability fund that all California employees
    pay into.

California has a "State Disability Tax/Insurance" program which is mandatory.
It funds state payment of disability (workman's comp) payments.

    Phew, thats a relief. From this side of the pond I thought it meant
    there was a fund in case the State of California became disabled.....

    The California state disability tax is .9% of wages, on a maximum
    wage base of $25,149.00 for 1990.  That works out to a maximum
    deduction of $226.34, at which point it stops being withheld.

1101.5Same in New JerseyKYOA::SACHSBlack, with extra Caffeine, please!Wed May 23 1990 17:1020
    We have the same thing here in New Jersey.
    
    The problem is, while working for Digital, if you happen to go on Short
    Term Disability, the state keeps its hand deep in its pockets.
    
    We are supposed to fill out forms required by the state, and others
    mandated by Digital; forwarding all to Personnel who send the
    appropriate ones to the state.  The irony is that the response from NJ
    SDI was that 'since my employer was paying all my wages, NJ would not
    pay SDI'.  Understandable (no double-dipping), though odd as the
    Digital forms guaranteed that I would turn over any monies received
    from SDI back to the company.
    
    What happened was that personnel checked off the wrong box on the state
    form.  Where they should have entered "employer will pay the
    difference", they checked "employer will pay in full".
    
    Technically, the employee gets the same, but it comes out of different
    corporate pockets.
    
1101.6Is it in New York also?MISFIT::RHODESJim Rhodes @RCOWed Jul 11 1990 12:347
    I relo'd from MA to New York and the disability tax has also crept in
    and started stealing from my already thin pot. But some of the folks
    that I've talked to out here haven't heard of it. Is this indeed a NY
    tax or am I paying for something that I'm not supposed to?

1101.8New York has it tooMISFIT::RHODESJim Rhodes @RCOFri Jul 13 1990 09:273
    I spoke to corporate payroll and they said NY has the disability tax.
    This amounts to 0.60 per week.
    
1101.9Duuuuuhhhhhhh......ALOSWS::KOZAKIEWICZShoes for industryTue Jul 17 1990 13:276
    My brain is playing tricks on me.  It wasn't on the check stub last
    week, but it is now.  Someone must have sneaked into my desk and
    changed it...
