If your elective coverage agreement is approved, instructions will be sent to you for ling your returns and paying the premiums
due. Your agreement is subject to the requirements and conditions outlined below.
Please retain this page for reference.
Persons Eligible to Elect Coverage
• Section 708(b) of the California Unemployment Insurance Code (CUIC) (leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml) pro-
vides that an individual who is an employer under section 675 of the CUIC, or two or more individuals who have so qualied,
may elect coverage. Each individual who applies must provide evidence of an annual net prot of at least $4,600 or average
$1,150 per quarter if in business for less than one year.
○ Qualifying employers include sole proprietors, general partners, managing members of Limited Liability
Companies (LLC) treated as sole-proprietors for federal income tax purposes, and members of LLCs treated
as partnerships for federal income tax reporting purposes. It is not required that all active general partners
or members be included in the election. An active general partnership also includes a husband and wife co-
ownership in which both spouses are active in the operation and management of the business. Limited partners
and corporate ocers are considered to be employees subject to the compulsory provisions of the CUIC, the
same as all other employees, and are not eligible to elect self-coverage.
• Section 708.5 of the CUIC provides that self-employed individuals who receive the major portion of their remuneration from
the trade, business, or occupation in which they are self-employed, may elect coverage. Annual net prot must be at least
$4,600 or average $1,150 per quarter if in business for less than one year.
Conditions for Denial of Coverage
Section 704 of the CUIC provides that an election under section 708(b) or section 708.5 of the CUIC shall not be approved if it is
found that any of the following conditions exist:
(a) The self-employed individual is currently unable to perform his or her regular and customary work due to injury or illness.
(b) The employing unit or self-employed individual is not normally and continuously engaged in a regular trade, business, or
occupation.
(c) The employing unit or self-employed individual intends to discontinue the regular trade, business, or occupation within
eight calendar quarters.
(d) The regular trade, business, or occupation of the employing unit or self-employed individual is seasonal in its operations.
(e) The major portion of the self-employed individual’s remuneration is not derived from his or her trade, business, or
occupation.
(f) The self-employed individual is unable to provide a copy of his or her Internal Revenue Services (IRS) Schedule SE for
the preceding year showing a net prot of at least $4,600 or to certify to an average net prot of at least $1,150 per
quarter since becoming self-employed or for the preceding four quarters, whichever period is less.
(g) The employing unit or self-employed individual has failed to make a return or to pay contributions within the time required,
pursuant to the CUIC and there is an unpaid amount of contributions owing by the employing unit or self-employed
individual.
(h) Section 704(h) (1) and (2) of the CUIC: (1) A prior elective coverage agreement entered into pursuant to section 708 or
708.5 of the CUIC has been terminated by the department under section 704.1 of the CUIC or by means of a written
application for termination as required by this division, and the individual has not completed a waiting period of 18
consecutive months from the date of termination. (2) The waiting period for reinstatement to the elective coverage program
may be waived for any individual who becomes eligible for coverage after being terminated under paragraph (1), (2), (4),
or (5) of subdivision (a) of section 704.1 of the CUIC, upon receipt by the department of an application for coverage to be
eective the rst day of the quarter in which the application is received.
(i) The employing unit or any ocer or agent of or person having charge of the aairs of the employing unit, or the self-
employed individual has been convicted within the preceding eight consecutive calendar quarters of any violation under
Chapter 10 (commencing with section 2101 of the CUIC). For the purposes of this subdivision, a plea or verdict of
*Includes Paid Family Leave
DE 1378DI Rev. 45 (1-
22) (INTERNET) Page 3 of 5
guilty or a conviction following a plea of nolo contendere is deemed to be a conviction irrespective of whether an order
granting probation or other order is made suspending the imposition of the sentence or whether sentence is imposed for
execution thereof is suspended.
(j) For purposes of this section, IRS Schedule SE is dened as IRS Form 1040 Schedule SE, or in the case of statutory
employees under the Internal Revenue Code (law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26), it shall be dened as IRS Form 1040 (irs.gov)
Schedule C, or the California Resident Income Tax Return, DE 540, when accompanied by IRS Form W-2 (irs.gov).
Elections led under section 708.5 of the CUIC are subject to verication by the Employment Development Department (EDD)
that the individual is in fact self-employed rather than an employee of another individual or rm. If an individual ling an
application for coverage under section 708.5 of the CUIC as a self-employed individual has any knowledge of a prior ruling
issued by the EDD concerning his or her status, reference to such ruling should be made on the application form and, if
possible, a copy of the ruling attached.
Cost of Coverage
You will receive notication of the following year’s premium rate, reportable income credits, and premiums payable with your fourth
quarter premium notice. You may estimate the cost of coverage using form Disability Insurance Elective Coverage
(DIEC) Rate Notice and Instructions for Computing Annual Premiums (DE 3DI-I) (PDF) (edd.ca.gov/pdf_pub_ctr/de3dii.pdf) or call
the phone number shown on the front of your application for assistance.
Quarterly Report Required
The Quarterly Premium Notice for Disability Insurance Elective Coverage (DE 3DI) must be led each quarter whether or not
premiums are due. This notice is normally mailed by the last day of the calendar quarter. The DE 3DI and premiums are due on
the rst day of the following calendar quarter and become delinquent if not paid on or before the last day of that month. Failure
to receive a DE 3DI does not relieve you of the responsibility to pay your premiums on time. Submitting the DE 3DI with disability
information is not a claim for benets. Contact your local Disability Insurance benet oce for claim information.
Reportable Compensation
Any adjustment of the reportable income credits and premiums due to Disability Insurance (DI) or Paid Family Leave (PFL) must
be noted on the DE 3DI. If you have any questions regarding computing or adjusting the reportable income credits and premiums,
please contact the Taxpayer Assistance Center at 1-888-745-3886.
Benet Eligibility
The EDD determines eligibility for DI and PFL benets pursuant to the CUIC and authorized regulations. Generally, a
minimum of several months must elapse from the commencement date of coverage before a valid claim may be led
based solely on income credits reportable under your election. Eligibility is dependent on a number of factors including:
proof of a claimant’s eligibility, ling of a timely claim for benets, and ling and payment of all required reports and amounts
due. Weekly DI or PFL benets are payable under elective coverage regardless of whether the claimant continues to receive
any compensation from his or her business.
DI provides benets to individuals who take time o of work due to their own non-work-related disability. Disability is dened as an
illness or injury, either physical or mental, which prevents you from performing your regular and customary work. Disability also
includes elective surgery, pregnancy, childbirth, or other related medical conditions. DI may cover both work related and non-work-
related injuries and illnesses. For DI benets and eligibility, see the pamphlet Disability Insurance Provisions (DE 2515) (PDF)
(edd.ca.gov/pdf_pub_ctr/de2515.pdf) or contact your DI eld oce at 1-800-480-3287.
PFL provides benets to individuals who need to take time o work to:
• Care for a seriously ill family member (child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered do-
mestic partner).
• Bond with a new child entering the family by birth, adoption, or foster care placement.
• Participate in a qualifying event because of a family member’s (spouse, registered domestic partner, parent, or child) military
deployment to a foreign country.
○ Deployment is dened as covered active duty, a call or notice of impending covered active duty, or a rest and recuperation
leave from covered active duty.
○ A qualifying event is any military event or an essential need resulting from the family member’s deployment to a foreign
country.
For information on PFL benets and eligibility, refer to brochure Paid Family Leave (DE 2511) (PDF) (edd.ca.gov/pdf_pub_ctr/
de2511.pdf) or call PFL at 1-877-238-4373
DE 1378DI Rev. 45 (1-
22) (INTERNET) Page 4 of 5
Cancellation/Termination of Elective Coverage
A participant may cancel his or her elective coverage agreement as of January 1 of any calendar year, and only if the agreement
has been in eect for two complete calendar years, by sending a letter to the EDD at the address above requesting termination on
or before January 31 of that year.
The EDD may terminate your elective coverage agreement if it is found that any of the “Conditions for Denial of Coverage” exist or
you meet one of the following conditions for termination of coverage by the EDD found in section 704.1 of the CUIC:
• Section 704.1(a)(5): The self-employed individual reports a net prot of less than $4,600 on his or her IRS Service Schedule
SE for a third consecutive year.
• Section 704.1(a)(7): The employing unit or self-employed individual, or a representative thereof, is found by the director to have
led a false statement in order to be considered eligible for elective coverage.
You will be given written notication of the EDD’s termination of your elective coverage agreement and will have 30
days to le a Petition for Review of the termination of elective coverage. The termination shall not aect the liability of the
self-employed individual for any premiums due, owing or unpaid to the EDD. Termination by the EDD may aect your ability to
draw DI benets.
The EDD is an equal opportunity employer/program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities. Requests for
services, aids, and/or alternate formats need to be made by calling 1-888-745-3886 (voice) or TTY 1-800-547-9565.
