Disability benefits: duration: postchildbirth.

Existing law authorizes the Employment Development Department to administer the unemployment disability compensation benefits program, which provides for the partial compensation for the wage losses suffered by an individual deemed disabled under the program. Existing law provides that an individual is deemed disabled for these purposes on any day in which, because of their physical or mental condition, the individual is unable to perform their regular or customary work, and defines "disability" for that purpose to include, among other things, an illness or injury, whether physical or mental, including any illness or injury resulting from pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition.
