Can a business owener collect State disability in CA?

In California, business owners can collect State Disability Insurance (SDI) if they meet certain criteria, such as having a valid SDI coverage and paying into the program. However, if the owner is actively managing the business, they may not be eligible, as SDI benefits are intended for those unable to work due to a non-work-related disability. It's important for business owners to check their specific situation and consult with the California Employment Development Department for guidance.
