Depends.
Basic guideline is if you paid for the policy paying the benefit, then the benefit isn't taxable.
If someones else contributed to it, or if it was paid with before tax money (as in some employee packages), then the money is taxable.
However, consider the income being replaced would have been taxed too.
Depends on the type of disability payments you receive. I do not have to pay taxes on my military disability, it is tax free.
Being on disability does not exempt you from paying taxes.
No
It depends on how the premiums for the disability insurance were paid.
In most cases, people who receive benefits from disability insurance will not be required to owe any taxes on that money. However, there are some cases when people with certain income levels will be required to pay taxes on disability insurance income. If a person has disability income and earns a salary that is greater than $25,000 and less than $34,000, then he or she will have to pay taxes on 85% of all disability income received in the past year. If a person earns more than $34,000, then he or she will have to pay taxes on a greater portion of the disability income.
The taxable status of short term disability depends upon how you pay the premium. If you pay for short term disability at work via pre-tax deductions, the benefit will be taxable. If you pay with after tax deductions, you keep the entire benefit free of any taxes.
This is not declared income and you will not have to pay income taxes on it. Same thing for child support. However, Alimony payments have to be delclared and will be taxed.

It depends on why you are taking leave, and if you have short term disability coverage in force. Illinois does not have state mandated disability coverage so you would need to have a policy already in place. Short term disability will cover your disability, but will not pay benefits if you are taking leave to care for a family member.
No
The employer is obligated to follow its own written policy about employees out on short-term disability leave. The employer cannot, for example, pay for the president's health insurance when she is out on STD leave and then not pay for the entry-level clerk's health insurance when he is out on STD leave. If the employer does not have a written policy, then all employees who take a disability leave should be treated the same.
Yes, short-term disability will pay a monthly benefit if you can't work due to an illness or injury, which occured on the job or even off the job site. Benefir periods are tipically 30 days, 90 days, 6 months or 12 month for Short term disability. You need long-term disability to continue receiving benefits beyond the short term benefit periods. Ask for multiple quotes from an experienced licensed disability insurance broker.
No because disability payments come from taxes, so it would not make sense. Disability payments do not come from the state they are federal.
