About SDI and FMLA
State Disability Insurance (SDI) provides short-term benefits to eligible workers who cannot work due to a non-work-related illness, injury, or pregnancy.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for certain family and medical reasons that include:
Birth and care of a newborn child
Care for an immediate family member with a serious health condition
Medical leave when the employee is unable to work due to a serious health condition
Qualifying situations arising from a family member's military service
During FMLA leave, employees maintain their health insurance coverage and are guaranteed their same or an equivalent job when they return to work.
Filing a claim/request
To file an SDI claim or FMLA request, workers typically need:
Medical documentation of their disability
Recent employment and wage information
Personal identification
Healthcare provider's contact information
The specific process and benefits vary by state. Workers should:
File their claim/request within the required timeframe (usually within 30-49 days)
Submit their SDI claims through their state's disability insurance office website or by mail
Keep copies of all submitted documentation
For specific SDI or FMLA guidance, workers should contact their state's disability insurance office or production administrators
For all states, the employer contact info is: Wrapbook, 228 Park Ave S, New York, NY 10003
New York instructions:
NY Paid Family Leave requires different forms for different types of leave, so the worker should refer to the New York State Paid Family Leave website to determine which forms are required for their specific leave
Regardless of the type of leave, the worker will need to complete the employee portion of the NY PFL claim form and submit the employer portion to Wrapbook support for completion
Once complete, Wrapbook will return the completed form to the Employee and instruct them to submit the completed form to our insurer: NYSIF (policy # DB 7260 86-3)
Worker submission guidelines
Per the state of NY, it is the worker’s responsibility to submit all forms, not the employer
Submit your completed request within 30 days after the start of your leave to avoid losing benefits
Submit using one of the following: fax to 518.437.5201, e-mail to [email protected], or mail to NYSIF, PO Box 66699, Albany, NY 12206
California instructions
CA disability claims are filed through California’s Employment Development Department (EDD)
Workers should create a MyEDD account on the State of California Employee Development Department

From there, the California EDD will send forms directly to Wrapbook to complete and return back to EDD
