Our company has granted Family medical leave protection to one of our employees to take care of a sick relative, are they eligible for TDI benefits during their time out of work?
No. RI TDI only pays benefits to workers who are ill or injured and does not extend benefits to persons taking care of a sick relative while on family medical leave (FMLA). Anyone who receives Temporary Disability Insurance must be certified by a licensed Qualified Healthcare Practitioner that they are disabled and unable to work.
