You can request a redetermination of a denied weekly claim. To do this, log into your online account and under Claim Review(s), click on Request Review. From there you can select the claim impacted and indicate that your request is due to a ‘denied weekly claim.’ We will review your request and redetermine the weekly claim(s) accordingly.

If you have repaid an overpayment in full, you may have hours tied to a weekly claim restored to you. Submit a request for review.

A claim year is the 52-week period beginning the Sunday of the week you applied for leave or your leave start date, whichever is earlier. Your weekly benefit amount and typical workweek hours will be the same for any leave you use during this claim year.

No. You can claim ONE type of leave per week: medical leave OR family leave. If you have a partial week of medical leave you can claim it one week, and start claiming family leave the next week.

Workers’ Compensation provides wage replacement when you cannot work due to an on-the-job injury. These benefits are paid either by the Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) or by your employer’s private insurer.

It is unlawful to receive time-loss or wage-replacement benefits from Workers’ Compensation for the same week you receive Paid Leave. However, payments made for medical expenses (medical-only) from L&I are allowed while you are on Paid Leave.

Paid Leave benefits are issued weekly, while Workers’ Compensation benefits are paid twice per month. If you have a Workers’ Compensation claim:

• Review the dates covered by each Workers’ Compensation payment.
• When filing your Paid Leave weekly claim, you must report that you will receive Workers’ Compensation benefits any time the coverage dates overlap with your Paid Leave week, even if the overlap is only one day.
• Because Workers’ Compensation payments often cover multiple weeks, a single payment may make you ineligible for two or three Paid Leave weeks.

Short-term Disability and Paid Leave: Short-term disability is different than Workers’ Compensation. Check with your short-term disability plan to see how receiving Paid Leave could impact those benefits.

Unemployment benefits are for those who are unemployed or partially employed. This is a different program than Paid Leave.

• It is unlawful to receive benefits from Unemployment and Paid Leave for the same week. It is your responsibility to choose which program to use.
• On the weekly claim, select Yes if you received or will be receiving Unemployment benefits for this week. This includes your Unemployment waiting week.
