The Employment Development Department (EDD) recently announced that the 2022 employee contribution rate for State Disability Insurance and Paid Family Leave will decrease from 1.2% to 1.1%. The taxable wage base from which the contributions will be taken will increase from $128,298 in 2021 to $145,600 in 2022. The maximum weekly benefit increases from $1,357 to $1,540.
Employers should be aware of this change in rates and limits, and they should work with their payroll provider to adjust employee contributions.
