Most individuals who work in Rhode Island and are covered by TDI are eligible – including those who live out of state. (Exceptions include federal, state and some municipal employees as well as partners and non-incorporated self-employed workers.)

TCI is not company-paid sick time or vacation time. Nor does it replace your full weekly wage or salary. The TCI benefit is equal to the Temporary Disability (TDI) benefit.

Temporary Caregivers Insurance (TCI) is Rhode Island’s TCI paid leave program helps you afford to take time off from work so you can care for: 

• seriously ill child, spouse, domestic partner, parent, parent-in-law, or grandparent
• bond with a newborn child, adopted child, or foster child.

The Temporary Caregiver Insurance Program (TCI) is Rhode Island’s paid family leave program. As part of the RI Temporary Disability Program (TDI), TCI provides up to five weeks (6 weeks in 2023) per year of partial wage replacement benefits to most Rhode Island workers and protects your job security.

 If you are a sick or injured worker you may be eligible for paid leave through TDI (Temporary Disability Insurance) link
