TOMS RIVER – When medical issues, caretaking matters or personal traumas arise, New Jersey wage earners have options to manage work-life balance. Learn “Your Rights as a Worker in New Jersey: An Overview of NJ Family Leave and Temporary Disability Insurance” at the Ocean County Library Toms River Branch, 7 PM Thursday, January 9.

Natalie Rodriguez, TDI/FLI Bilingual Program Specialist of the NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Division of Temporary Disability and Family Leave Insurance, will lead this informative program in the Home Town Dairy Room.

The workshop will provide an overview of program eligibility requirements, offer coverage details, and explain the application process. A question-and-answer session will follow

New Jersey Family Leave insurance may be applicable if you are caring for a loved one with a developmental disability, who is elderly, or who has a physical impairment or serious health issue; if you are bonding with a newborn, new foster child or newly adopted child; or if you are coping with matters related to sexual or domestic abuse.

New Jersey Temporary Disability Insurance may be an option if you are simultaneously balancing work and recovery from your own illness, injury or surgery.
