Terms Used In California Government Code 19882
- Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law. Entitlements constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal Government, and eligible recipients have legal recourse if the obligation is not fulfilled. Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.
- Family Care Leave benefits: means benefits authorized by Section 19878. See California Government Code 19878
- State: means the State of California, unless applied to the different parts of the United States. See California Government Code 18

(2) Temporary disability benefits under any employer’s liability law of this state or of any other state or of the federal government.
(c) If such “other benefits” are less than the amount an individual would otherwise receive as disability benefits under this article, they shall be entitled to receive, for such day, if otherwise eligible, disability benefits under this article reduced by the amount of such “other benefits.” If after receipt of, or determination of entitlement to receive, such other benefits, a claim for disability benefits under this article is filed during the same continuous period of disability, because of a disability for which a claim for such other benefits was made, the maximum amount of disability benefits payable under this article during the disability benefit period thereby established shall be reduced by the amount of such “other benefits” which the claimant has received or has been determined to be entitled to receive.
(d) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Section 3517.5, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if such provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
