You may be referring to Paid Family Leave offered by the state of California. Workers who contribute to the State Disability Insurance fund are entitled to 6 weeks of family leave to bond with a new baby or child joining the family, or to care for an ailing family member. During this time, part of their wages will be paid to them.
While California's Disability Insurance is also funded by paying into SDI, it is different from Paid Family Leave in that it provides partial payment of wages in case of disability from a non-work related cause, or due to pregnancy or childbirth.
