It depends on how you paid the premiums. If you paid with after tax dollars, your benefit is completely tax free. If you used pre-tax dollars you would owe Federal Income taxes, but not NJ Income taxes - NJ does not recognize pre-taxing. If your employer paid a portion of your private insurance premium, you would owe both Federal and State taxes.

Can the California franchise tax board levy state disability checks?
Let me rephrase your question so that you can be sure my answer actually addresses what you want to know: "Must I pay taxes in the State of California on disability claim checks I receive from the California State Disability Insurance (CA SDI) program?" In reference to CA SDI claim checks, no the amount you receive is not taxable, with only one exception: a person with a disability who is unemployed and would otherwise be eligible for CA State Unemployment Insurance (CA UI) benefits but whose circumstances/CA SDI rules allow them to defer filing for CA UI and instead file for CA SDI (which has a higher cap on benefit payments relative to UI so one would end up getting more money on SDI) must pay taxes on CA SDI payouts received. If you're not unemployed, meaning once you recover from your disability you have the legal right to return to your job, then the State of California will not tax your disability claim checks. If you become unemployed while receiving disability from the State (your employer can legally separate you from employment even while disabled if your position was part of a company downsizing at anytime and also after the period defined for State Medical Leave has passed, I don't know the length of that period you'd have to research it) your tax status may change and I can't find any definitive answers about what happens then. You'd likely have to call either the FTB or the CA SDI directly to ask. Source: http://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/FAQs_for_Disability_Insurance.htm#Benefits The rationale behind the non-taxability of CA SDI claims simply relates to the concept of dual-taxation, meaning law prohibits you from being taxed twice on something. And if you look at your pay stub, you'll see there's a CA SDI tax line item in most instances. So you've actually already paid your tax. That's why I always encourage people who are going to be out of work for more than a month due to documented injury, illness or other disability, to file for SDI because you're entitled to it, you've paid for it, you should use it. Not all HR departments proactively mention SDI to employees leaving on disability - they are not legally bound to do so - which sucks. Note: This information applies only to those disability claim checks issued by the CA State Disability Insurance program. Private insurance disability claim checks ARE taxable.

How long does a person have to furnish an insurer with a claim for disability benefits?
If your question pertains to a private disability policy, the policy language will generally state that a claim for benefits must be filed "as soon as practicable". Group policies generally have similar language. Broadly, this suggests some flexibility based upon the circumstances of the illness or injury that resulted in the disability. However, be certain to read the policy carefully to ensure that there is not a more specific tome frame for filing the claim.
